“F1 issued a warning after new cars fail perfect demonstration,” as the duo of George Russell and Lando Norris express their discontentment

With the new rules in place for the 2022 season, drivers get to try out new experiments with their machinery in hopes of getting better results. After spending two days in Barcelona for the pre-testing ahead of the 2022 campaign, drivers main focus is towards the cars and getting it up to speed with the new regulations while they moved onto day three of the pre-season testing.

The new regulations of Formula One is aimed at creating more overtaking opportunities and improving racing spectacle at turns by allowing cars to travel closer to each other through high-speed. During the running or the trial rounds, George Russell was asked whether there were any improvements or signs of working in the regulations, he replied saying, “I think the following has been improved but the slipstream effect has been reduced quite substantially so I don’t really know. You obviously need that delta in the straights to overtake because you can only overtake at the end of a straight and into a corner.”

One of the main concerns was effectiveness of the regulation and its slipstream effect, regarding to which Russell added, “We can follow closer but from what we have seen, the slipstream effect is definitely less effective. We will have to wait and see. I got right up behind Lando, I was a car-length or two behind him and didn’t catch the straight so that was slightly concerning so let’s see.”

When asked Lando Norris about the near cut experience, he sided with George Russell as it becomes hard to understand the development due the varied ranges of cars with different paths and fuel levels and said, “I didn’t want to let him past while he was on a quick lap so I screwed him over and held him up a bit. That is what you do in testing. How much exactly is hard to know because you are always on different fuel levels and tyres and maybe when there are three, four, five, six cars ahead then it could be quite different again.” Added Lando with not much satisfaction over the regulation.

“But with all this obviously comes the deficit of a slipstream effect and how much that is going to be helping us. We can follow closer but then the slipstream is worse so a positive and a negative from it. We don’t know which is the bigger effect at the minute so we will have to see until the first race.” As reported by gpfans.

George Russell and Lando Norris have raised concerns after the end of day 3 of pre-season testing at Barcelona over hopes of improving racing actions after they fail to look after their presumably perfect demonstration during testing.
