Former Scuderia Ferrari boss and currently the sport’s managing director, Ross Brawn, has confirmed that the Formula One teams are no longer ‘moaning and groaning’ about the Technical Regulations for the 2022 championship, despite some initial fears.
F1 will introduce a new generation of cars for the 2022 campaign with a long-term plan which aims at leading to much more close and exciting racing. In this regard, the new F1 cars should be able to follow more closely to each other as a result of the new aerodynamic concepts.
On the surface, the new Technical Regulations has left less room for engineering freedom as teams continue to work on their 2022 cars, but after unveiling a dummy car last summer when the British Grand Prix took place at Silverstone, it then became apparent teams would be able to find several design solutions for the 2022 Formula 1 season
Teams will, however, still be largely limited due to the lack of aerodynamic elements on the top face of the cars, whilst the budget cap will also mean less development possibilities.

American daily newspaper the New York Times has recently interviewed Ross Brawn and asked him if he was looking forward to seeing the new machinery unveiled. The former Scuderia Ferrari boss replied:
“I’m fascinated. When we started, when the teams first saw the regulations, there were all moans and groans about the fact we’d taken so much scope away from them. But as they explored it, they realised there was still plenty of potential. I always took the approach when I was a technical director that I had to work within the regulations that were there. Given that was the same regulations for everyone, whoever did the best job of the regulations that were in front of you was the one who would succeed.” – he explained.
