The rest of the team will follow in their footsteps to introduce their new car this week. This is because next week some teams will conduct tests on the circuit to prepare themselves for the new season. In the launch, a number of new technologies were introduced which were embedded in the Formula 1 cars. Three updated things from the car for this year are on the front wing, rear wing and front brakes. The front wing has a wider, higher and more advanced range. This is intended to reduce turbulence. This wing modification is reinforced with a simplified front brake channel and without winglets. The higher and wider rear wing produces greater downforce, allowing the rider to overtake more effectively.
“We carry this concept so that the level of competition gets tighter,” said Ross Brawn, F1 Managing Director, in the “re: Invent” event initiated by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Las Vegas, end of November 2018. “These changes are predicted to making the car show better performance around 20 percent. This is also an important step to look at 2021, “said the former Ferrari official added. In 2021, as Brawn said, it refers to the major changes that will be made in the Formula 1 arena. Previously, the International Automotive Federation (FIA) has introduced concept cars for the year in September 2018. Unlike the minor changes made in recent years, for the season 2021 there will be a big revolution in the appearance of F1 racing cars. Not just looks fancy and sophisticated, it is beautiful and futuristic.
There are threemain focuses emphasized in the concept of the 2021 ship car. The first focus is Halo or cockpit protection. At the beginning of its appearance, Halo was criticized because the appearance of the race car became ugly. For 2021, Halo will blend with the body of the car so that it will look more aesthetic. The second and third factors are related to car aerodynamics. One of them is a matter of speed. There are plans for tire sizes to change from 13 inches to 18 inches.
With the new concept in racing cars for the 2021 season, it is expected that the gap between the teams will become increasingly eroded. That hope was also what Romain Grosjean, the Haas rider wanted.
