I see. In the interest of saving time, here is a synopsis of every F1 over taking debate ever.

“The drivers can’t follow the car in front of them because of all the dirty air from the Aero”
“Easy fix. Ban Wings”
“We like the wings. Let’s put grooves in the tires”
“The grooves in the tires are dumb. Let’s make the tires degrade artificially”
“Push to Pass”
“let’s make little aero gates the drivers can open with their knees”
“None of this is working”
“Easy fix. Ban Wings”
“We like the wings. Let’s make the tires wider”
"Expert X (Currently Ross) will figure it out. Form a committee!"

repeat forever.

The real solution has been known for years.

To say that about someone that out-qualified you on more than one occasion, when there wasn't a drat thing wrong with either car, is a window into just how entitled and abhorrent LH really is. His kinda spaced out persona in Australia, talking quietly like he is loving levitating above us all is also infuriating. gently caress LH, great opponent for Ferrari to put in his place.

edit: Merc please give him everything he needs and more. Bill him as number 1. Design the tub around his rear end. Certainly make sure his engine holds together. Everything. I want LH to be clear that when he loses this WDC he can't blame the car again. I think if LH had to parse he might not be the best of all time he might just have a stroke and die

This is a couple of pages back, but I wanted to congratulate you on finally making a good post.

Other than the DRS/Narrow wing years the last year in F1 where overtaking was easy was like 1983

1983 is good.

Also it's of example of a year where refuelling worked pretty well. Maybe it can work if done correctly.

Double post here, but it's not the aero kit which is the direct problem, you can slipstream and get a decent tow, the issue is that the hot air from the car in front degrades your tires very quickly, overheats your brakes, and reduces engine power because it has less oxygen and gives less expansion when combusted.

This was present in older races, but tires were much longer lasting and engines were just less sensitive to hot, low oxygen air.

I do wonder if an aero design could be made to push hot air up off the track. Maybe terminating the exhaust above the rear spoiler, to mix it with fresh air and push it up a bit?

Pages ago but thanks for answering this. I guess I thought the biggest issue was the front end washing out and making the car hard to handle and increasing the tire wear from the driver having to fight the car.

In that it didn't wreck the racing. Some of the refuelling years were pretty bad.

It was. The hot air is a secondary issue. This year the tires can deal much better with sliding around without overheating, but brakes/engines will still have issues if they're marginal on cooling.
