What Scrum Teams Can Learn From The Ferrari F1 2022 Season So Far
The 2022 F1 season has introduced a new array of aerodynamic rules. The cars look and behave vastly differently compared to last year’s and that poses both challenges and opportunities for Formula teams.
One of the biggest revelations at the beginning of the season was the car design Ferrari had come up with. The sidepods (the air intake covers on both sides of the car) look like a heavy object fell onto it and left a big dent. The genius thing about these regulation changes and F1 teams is that the masterminds behind the teams will push every little edge they can find to get the most extreme out of it to pull a competitive edge towards them.
As the image above demonstrates, the sidepods of the Ferrari (left) and the McLaren (right) look very different from each other. Usually, the top cover is plain and straight. A few eyebrows were raised, until the first race. After the season-opening event, it was clear to everyone: Ferrari just might have a championship-winning car in their hands. The engine speed has improved tremendously compared to last year’s challenger and the aerodynamics seem to work just as hoped.
Championship already decided? Weeeeeell…
