The 2007 Technical Review (part II)
Craig Scarborough concludes his review of the technical developments in F1 during 2007 with a look at areas such as tyres, gearboxes, and aerodynamics
In 2007, a few truly new solutions were developed. But the convergence of other design ideas made most cars fundamentally the same, with the widespread adoption of zero keels, seamless-shift gearboxes and pod wings.
Some of the new rules changes challenged the teams, particularly the single tyre supply and engine freeze, leading the teams to rework their cars' layouts to suit the new tyres, and correspondingly, forcing the aerodynamics teams to match the cars' new weight distributions.
