The new regulations mean a big change for the cars next season. World Auto Garage has exclusive information from the file in future.
This illustration was done with the design data F1 is the first time a car is on public display before it is submitted. The new regulations combine an impressive reduction in downforce (the force that pushes the car into the ground), an adjustable aerodynamic system, the return of slick tires and the introduction of KERS System (Kinetic Energy Recovery). This package of technical changes have a very precise objective: to improve competitiveness ...
REDUCTION
the downforce
liners to increase downforce reduction is needed. The Working Group Passes (composed by Paddy Lowe of McLaren, Renault's Pat Symonds and Ferrari's Rory Byrne) was first tested in history Formula One wind tunnel, which aims to improve the quality of the liner. Their verdicts have shaped the new regulations for the body: lower front wings and broad, higher rear wings, changes in the diffuser and a body free of attachments. The basis for this development is reduced by 50% the current inventory of downforce levels, and are working to trim the most. Because the current "persecution natural distance" between cars is two seconds, lower it by half would mean a reduction of this distance to about one second. Slicks
A reduction in downforce also means make turns more slowly, so the return of slicks will help maintain stable rates (to levels 2008). Moreover, the slicks are not the sharp edge of their counterparts with grooves, and that will raise the confidence levels of the pilots, "With the grooved tires always try to keep a small percentage below the limit," exlica Alex Wurz, pilot Honda test. "But with slicks, you abuse the car and get better times, now fans will witness the fastest racing on the track."
AERODYNAMICS A JUSTABLE
These large front wings keep a trick up its sleeve, now move. Two adjustments will be allowed up to six degrees per lap, to let the car back to stay close in fast corners that lead to straight. This greatly minimizes loss of front downforce which is experienced when running behind another car. The result? More liners (at least that is what is expected). KERS

"This system has led us to rethink how to compete," said FIA technical consultant Tony Purnell. KERS is a system that recovers and stores energy from braking and can be used in two ways: to release the stored energy continuously, or as a burst of power. " In its defense, the pilots would make an explosive release to support a liner. But it also depends on the opponent's energy, because your car will slow down after the burst of power.
As with all changes, has its advantage to be cautious: there is no guarantee aunt to see a lot of overtaking the next year. The aim is to bring the case to the critical point to make liners, and not just make it easier. After all, doing the simple things are not going to F1. indicate changes in right direction and want to improve the show for the fans. "F1 is so boring these days" Purnell said. "Compared to a good steak, I'd say we're good to create excitement, but just before serving is very bland. When people complain that there are many liners, only then I will be happy. "
