If you are overweight, let's change the rules.
Doesn't make sense.

Only aerodynamic development was frozen.
Yeah, but that’s the variable part. Engine has to weigh 150kg, driver and seat 80kg, wheels are standard, safety cell is also heavily regulated and so on. Chassis and aero bits are where you make the difference.
Not correct ... anyway OTmclaren111 wrote: ↑03 Mar 2022, 10:32
IIRC only aero development was frozen and not the rest...
I agree, I think ferrari are one of the teams who got the car right.. and this weight would be one of the reasons they are in front now... we don't want others to catchup with this change... if ferrari had known they will increase it then ferrari could have gone even more aggressive
Why is there a stupid weight limit anyway. We have a cost cap now! Let weight be a differentiator.shamyakovic wrote: ↑03 Mar 2022, 11:39I agree, I think ferrari are one of the teams who got the car right.. and this weight would be one of the reasons they are in front now... we don't want others to catchup with this change... if ferrari had known they will increase it then ferrari could have gone even more aggressive
A hunch.
Also, if you believe the official site... states it's a single turbocharger:
A single turbo charger is a given, the rules don't allow more. The split turbo only adds a long shaft to that turbo, as far as I know.
That's not my impression of Ferrari. They're very secretive. They only recently showed a years old Power unit.
Eh, I don't know about that. Ferrari can be a leaky faucet at times. We knew about the 2021 PU and its improvements very early as well as the new hybrid upgrade. We also knew that the 2022 engine would be using a new combustion process and "innovative" technology as far back as winter 2020.mzso wrote: ↑03 Mar 2022, 16:56A single turbo charger is a given, the rules don't allow more.

And these days are even more cautious about bold claims, engine or otherwise.

Ahhh, thank you for the clarification (I'm not very savvy when it comes to turbos). I was under the impression that a "split" was indeed "twin".
Well... where else can you develop PU. It all starts with combustion.... neither of reporters know exactly what has being changed...JPower wrote: ↑03 Mar 2022, 16:59Eh, I don't know about that.
