The first on-track test of F1's prototype wheel arches aimed at helping with visibility was not an instant success. Here's a first look at a complex concept that requires more work.
Unfortunately, the first track running of the prototype wheel arches or spray guards, as some are informally calling them, was not an instant success.
"And I think if over its lifetime, if it saves a race and 100,000 people from suffering a situation like a Spa in 2021, if even once it makes a difference, I think it's well worth it." McLaren's Oscar Piastri provided a reference for how much spray a normal car produces, while also following the Mercedes and offering feedback on the impact on visibility.
"And additionally, even then you need correlation, because we don't have the full knowledge of much of the water is sucked from the from the ground, and how much is thrown away from the tyres. Tombazis is happy to admit that the Silverstone prototypes didn't have much of an impact on spray reduction. "We're not however there with the configuration. And we just need to try again. Not many engineering projects work on the first go perfectly. So we just need to work a bit more.
The next iteration is likely to be some months away, and arranging another test like the one at Silverstone won't be the work of a moment, especially once the run of flyaway races starts in Singapore and teams and cars are travelling.
