“We have already achieved the performance of 2021 at least in terms of simulations”. At Red Bull already in Abu Dhabi there was optimism about the 2022 project, the RB18, defined by Helmut Marko “Really attractive”. The presentation date of the new single-seater made in Milton Keynes has not yet been defined, which will have the honor of wearing the number 1 on the nose of the car entrusted to Max Verstappen and the burden of having to defend it.
At first glance, the 2022 regulation had disappointed Adrian Newey, who, however, after a careful rereading, found the stimuli he was looking for to create an innovative single-seater ready to amaze. As reported by today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport in an analysis by Paolo Filisetti, in fact, the wizard of aerodynamics has decided at the design level to advance the cockpit of the RB18 thanks to the fact that the shapes of the new single-seaters they minimized turbulence in front of the front wheels. Ross Brawn and Nick Tombazis, in fact, together with the pool of technicians who drafted the regulation, have set themselves the main objective of not damaging the cars chasing the competitors by ensuring that the loss of aerodynamic load was significantly lower than that in which has been encountered in recent seasons when it arrived ‘in dirty air’.
L’advancement of the passenger compartment is the move that Newey has studied at the table to enhance the work of the Venturi channel, those that will develop the ground effect. The goal was further tighten the sides at the rear by lengthening them thanks to the forward movement of the cockpit. To achieve this, Honda had to make the RA621H power unit even more compact than it already was. The Japanese engineers pointed out that recovering the horses lost due to the percentage of biofuel introduced by the 2022 regulation was not so simple, but together with the specialists of ExxonMobil – Red Bull supplier for gasoline – solutions were found to not lose. power.
