The overall F1-75 design looks awkward compared to some of its rivals, but that won't matter if the car is leading the pack at the first grand prix. The sidepods attracted the most attention, with a concave top surface featuring cooling louvres and an incredibly wide profile when viewed from the front. The new car is nothing if not different, with a nose and sidepod design unlike any other 2022 F1 car launched so far. The result of all that time spent in the wind tunnel and on CFD is the Ferrari F1-75, launched via a slick online presentation with team principal Mattia Binotto and drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. In Ferrari's case, finishing sixth in 2020 gave them more aerodynamic testing capacity than any of the top five teams in the first half of last year. The new ATR rules came in last year just as Ferrari switched its full focus to 2022 and offer teams more wind tunnel time and CFD capacity the further they finish down the order. In some ways it has been given every opportunity to do so, as its poor performance in 2020 gave the team added development capacity under the sport's new sliding-scale aerodynamic testing restrictions (ATR). Starting with a blank sheet of paper and one of the most advanced factories in F1, Ferrari has no excuse to be off the pace again this year and desperately needs to kick off the new era on the right foot. Trying to claw back a performance gap as big as the one to Red Bull and Mercedes last year would not normally be the work of a single winter, but the change in regulations for 2022 presents a huge opportunity for Maranello.
For a team with a budget and facilities like Ferrari's, that record is unacceptable. F1's oldest team has not won a title since 2008, and for the past two years hasn't even been in the running for the championship. Real thing or show car: Real thing FerrariĢ022 is a huge year for Ferrari. What we've seen so far Ferrariĭrivers: Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Here's a look at the best and worst of everything that's been revealed to the public so far. 23 in Spain, ahead of the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix on March 20. This only adds to the unknown factor going into preseason testing, which starts on Feb. The teams, who have been working on these designs for several years, have also come up with radically different design concepts. It's been an interesting "launch season" so far, with the highly anticipated aerodynamic rule change - aimed at creating a closer competitive order and closer on-track racing - producing some visually stunning cars. We've seen eight of the cars (in some form) that will compete to win the Formula One championship in 2022.
