The early clues Barcelona testing offers on solving F1's overtaking problem
One of the key features of the new 2022 Formula 1 car regulations was the ability to make overtaking easier, and thus increase the on-track spectacle. Though whether this has worked or not won't become apparent until racing starts, some early clues about the new cars' overtaking potential have emerged in Barcelona
“A format of car that would allow the cars to race more effectively with one another on the track and to permit an easier and more natural form of overtaking than we've been used to in Formula 1 recent seasons.”
Here, Mercedes chief technical officer James Allison succinctly sums up one of the key aims behind the rule changes that have resulted in the brand new F1 cars currently being tested at Barcelona this week.
