Size comparison between '24 and '26 Formula 1 cars
Size comparison between '24 and '26 Formula 1 cars
This is a screenshot from F1TV's Tech Talk, I believe this is the best size comparison I have seen since the reveal last Thursday.
At first glance the difference in width comes from the front wings, which protruded beyond the wheels in the '22 cars.
So hopefully the wings last longer in wheel to wheel action.
IMO the new reg renders make the front wing look deceptively small because of the geometry. They are still huge but as you say it looks like they no longer protrude past the wheel. Still looks like something fairly easily broken in wheel to wheel battles but maybe it'll hold up.
A quick glance made me think these were some new kind of razor and now I really want a razor with wheels.
lol the rear wing is the shaving blades
It’s like a car bed but for awkward teenagers
I’ll take a dozen!
I’ll invest in this idea
They've been touting this size reduction for a while. I am not sure what I expected, but only reducing by 20cm length and 10cm width? Really?
It's a step in the right direction for sure in both size and weight. Will it be enough, though?
The active aero and these kinda confusing boost modes could change the racing up a bit though.
Very nice. Now let's see 2005 car.
I wonder what the reasoning for bringing back the wide flat floor on either side of the coke bottle is

100% to avoid front wheels lodging against rear wheels. One car inevitably takes off in such cases (see Ocon-Gasly in Monaco).
I would guess that their reasoning is that the increased area allows for more/better sculpted ground effect.
I just hate the way it looks lol
