With the 2022 rule change on the horizon bargeboards will no longer be a feature of F1 cars, but what are they, how do they work, and will F1’s designers be able to replicate their function in 2022?
LMP cars don't race on street circuits like Monaco...

Should be easier in Monaco to use the walls as references to the apex
I wonder if Newey will take this comment from Brawn as a little dig
The FIA has seen “a few surprises” in the designs of the 2022 Formula 1 cars across the public launches and its own behind-the-scenes inspections.
The FIA has seen more of the car designs than anybody because in addition to the launches, there are individual sessions taking place with each team to “track the legalities so that we try to avoid any nasty surprises in the first race,” according to the FIA’s Nikolas Tombazis.
“We have seen a few surprises here and there,” said Tombazis.
“Some areas where cars are a bit more different between them than what we expected and where engineers have applied their innovative skills to come up with a solution.
“I think you will see a lot more differentiation than maybe you were expecting to start with.
“I wouldn’t say there’s been any massive alarm bells so far. It’s been relatively mild – still within what we think is a completely fair interpretation of the rules.”
“We haven’t seen anything equivalent to a double diffuser or anything like that!”

“ that the cars are going to race in a lower stance – [previous cars] they’ve looked a bit silly, these high-rake cars, sort of perched on their nose, and they never really looked like a racing car should look.
“These ones will look a lot better out on the tracks.”

Does anyone remember IMSA racing in Baltimore?
A shot with much vapour wake, again trying to isolate detail from it for Aero people!AeroDynamic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 15:22there's some nice footage of what these new cars are doing with wet weather wake in this short clip. You can see how the trail is interacting live behind the W13 as it goes straight and around the corner. The wake is definitely up high.

Appreciate the intent. You can see the rooster tail confined to mainly the car body, so just from that you can say the rules are a relative success in their intent. Now whether that actually improves racing, I kind of doubt it, but it can't be any worse than what we've had before. Maybe it will just take some getting used to because there are all sorts of new parts of the brain that you have to use to get the most out of the new regulations.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 16:41A shot with much vapour wake, again trying to isolate detail from it for Aero people!AeroDynamic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 15:22there's some nice footage of what these new cars are doing with wet weather wake in this short clip.
