Formula 1 is mostly a technological “war” and we certainly do not discover it today. The teams have always tried to discover the strong points on their rivals’ cars, then trying to replicate them and use them on their cars, obviously adapting them to the project. Given the performances at the start of the 2022 Formula 1 season, Ferrari and Red Bull are the two teams that everybody focuses on, as can also be seen after the highly discussed situation caused by the excessive similarity of the Aston Martin “version B” introduced in Barcelona.
On this issue, a curious episode was noticed in Monte Carlo at the end of qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix, which ended thirty seconds earler than was due, because of the accident of Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz at the Portier. As the Spaniard’s Ferrari car was being taken back to the pit lane, Williams team principal Jost Capito – “casually” passing by at that point – pulled out his smartphone and took some photos at the floor of the crashed F1-75, walking away nonchalantly without being stopped.
