Sebastian Vettel’s suggestion that the effort of F1’s 2022 rules overhaul was not worth the benefits has been dismissed by the FIA
Four-time champion Vettel remarked at the end of the year that the improvements in the raceability of the new generation of cars“We follow closer, but we've got less drag, so you need to be closer to also overtake,” explained Vettel.
But Tombazis, who in his role at the FIA helped in the process of framing the 2022 rules, says the analysis of the season just gone shows there were noteable improvements in how well the cars could race each other. “But I do think that it is going to be quite a lot closer next year again. And, with the [natural] convergence, I think that, in combination with the cars being able to a) race close and b) fight more with the tyres and not overheat them, I think that will lead to some very good races.
While such a scenario was not perfect, Tombazis reckons it is a pipe dream to expect cars to be able to race without any airflow interference from cars in front of them. One factor that Vettel alluded to was the fact that the 2022 cars had less overall drag than the previous generation of machinery, so the slipstream effect was much reduced.
