In part 1 of our F1 2022 season tech review, we look at how the back-of-the-grid teams attacked the sport's new rules. ⬇️
There were plenty of different approaches to both car concept and development programmes, with no two teams opting for identical routes.
With the dust now settled on the campaign, we take a deep dive into how each competitor dealt with the season just gone.We kick things off with Williams, a team that was hoping to make another leap forward up the grid, having steadily climbed the first few rungs of the ladder over the course of the last few seasons.
But despite the opportunity of a rule reset, and the cost cap levelling things up against the big teams, the squad did not make the progress hoped for.Williams chose to head in a bold direction with the FW44's initial sidepod design.
It cast aside its short ramp solution and traded it for an elongated variant. You'll also note the changes this inflicts on the engine cover cooling, whilst the floor fences are also different.In line with the changes made to the floor fences and the sidepod bodywork, the team also switched concepts on the edge of the floor too.Hung from the side of the halo, two winglets could be found.
