Lando Norris has revealed that the new 2022 cars that will have ground effect aerodynamics are not as good to drive as compared to the existing cars based on his experience with the McLaren simulator. The new ground effect cars are intended to facilitate better overtaking as existing cars tend to lose grip of the car in front due to aerodynamic wake. Overall, however, there is a major cut in downforce and the new tires as well as the cars will slow down which will make the 2022 season challenging for the drivers.
“It’s a very different car to drive. Not as good as this season in a way. But I think hopefully it’s the same with every other team. And we’ll see, that’s something to think about.” Don’t mean it’s amazing or terrible, you just have to do the best you can and hopefully next season we go to the pre-season test with a good car.”
Norris also revealed some information on how development is going for the 2022 season.

“The only car we’ve seen is in Silverstone. The car we have in the factory isn’t even a car. It’s a drawing and some paper. I don’t think we’ll see it for many more months, maybe a kind Not until next year. We’ve seen some drawings and designs for next season, but every week, it’s something new and something different, because there are so many different things with the car. But every week it’s so easy to change To do and to make it faster and faster,” he said.
Norris’ comments follow comments from his former teammate Fernando Alonso, who revealed that winter will be the most intense pre-season he has gone through in his storied F1 career. Alonso will become the oldest driver on the grid in 2022 and the most experienced as Kimi Raikkonen is retiring at the end of this season.
“Finally after three or four races you [will hopefully be] On top of the car and on top of the rules enough that the performance of the car will determine the results you get, as we see now. In terms of optimization, I don’t think it’s going to be a big difference. It’s just some tough work, or harder than any other winter, because we have to spend a little more time in the simulator with the team,” said the 2005 and 2006 world champions.
