Bargeboards have been completely outlawed. The front wing of the 2022 car come much more simplified compared to the 2021 models. The rear wing of this car banishes endplates and the strong vortices they shed.
The underbody of the 2022 model receives a host of changes that increases aerodynamic efficiency significantly. Fins and aerodynamic tunnels underneath the bodywork will ensure ground effect downforce for the 2022 Formula One cars. This changes the way the air passes over and under the racing car.
Instead of being flat, there will be two long air tunnels on the floor, ensuring the car's total downforce is generated from the underbody. This will help it to create a much cleaner wake.
The large 18-inch wheel rims grabs attention at the very first glimpse. The introduction of wheel covers too is another fresh design element for Formula One cars.
