The cars that will star in the premier category of motorsport from next season have been liked by practically the entire grid, a good starting point while waiting to see if they meet the objectives set on the track.

After the promotional video of the presentation of the same, the Formula 1 emitted another filmed recording on the same straight of the English circuit, this time starring the drivers themselves, in which they gave their first opinions at the foot of the track about the car that many of them will be driving next year.
“Interesting! It’s really different than what we’re used to. The most important thing is that we improve the competition and we can fight closer to each other. If this is the way forward, I am for it, ”said Max Verstappen. «2022 will be a great challenge, getting used to a new car and a new era. If they allow us to chase and run as they envision then I think it will be amazing for both fans and the sport, “said Lewis Hamilton.
For his part, Daniel Ricciardo pointed out a specific part of the new car. “I like the rear», He pointed out. «It seems very ‘old school’ to meIt reminds me of 2008, that style … it’s great. The front is very different, but I think it will be like everything: the more you look at it, the more normal it seems to you, “he added. “As long as it’s a good car and we can have fun on board … that’s the main thing,” added Lando Norris.
“Simpler, something that I hope will make racing better”
«I really like it but from the front wheels to the rear: how aggressive it is, the look and the rear wing … it seems more aggressive than the current ones. Simpler, something that I hope will make racing better; I just think it’s cool, “he added. Carlos Sainz. “It will definitely change everything quite a bit, we have already tested it in the simulator and we can confirm that it is a very different car when it comes to driving. He seems aggressive, nice and let’s hope he’s fast and improves the competition, which is the most important thing, ”snapped Charles Leclerc.
“It paints well!” Fernando Alonso. «Futuristic! Hopefully we will see better races, that we can follow each other closer and have tight battles. Lance Stroll noted the simplicity of the area of bargeboards, while George Russell stressed that “the idea behind the change is correct”, but that it will be “wait to see the results” after “the first time the sport has had a working group to improve racing.”
