How F1's 2021 ground effect differs from its fearsome predecessor - Chain Bear explains

Спорт

Chain Bear's latest video takes a look at the latest details we've seen from Formula 1 about the plans for its 2021 rules revolution - specifically the return of ground effect aerodynamics. The approach developed by Lotus towards the end of the 1970s proved so effective that it was banned after just a few years on safety grounds. Chain Bear explains how the concept works, why it was so dangerous in the past, and how its reintroduction will be managed differently to prevent a repeat of the frightening breed of cars that were produced last time around

    2:47 I think you need to explain why speeding up the airflow leads to a drop in pressure. Non-technical people may feel it is not quite so intuitive to conclude this, I think. Simplistically people might think the "squeezing together" of the airflow would densify the air and make its pressure rise according to the p = rgh formula, where p is static pressure, r is the fluid density, g is the gravitational constant and h is the height of fluid above the pressure probe. (Weather presenters often quote this formula so it is known to many) Of course in fact air is not very compressible so the density won't change that much at the throat. The real reason for the pressure drop at the throat is the interplay between fluid pressure, speed and vertical level along a streamline. Bernoulli derived an equation for this: p/rg + sqr(v)/2g + z = constant. This implies that as the velocity of air increases along the same horizontal streamline, its (static) pressure decreases.

    Good explanation of the new design rules. I look forward to seeing this implemented. Hopefully, it will work as expected and make passing less artificial and more the result of grip, power and driver skill in making the best of it and another driver’s errors. DRS tends to make passing another car more of forgone conclusion. While I understand why DRS was necessitated due to the over reliance of wings to create downforce, it always seem to be a very flawed bandaid solution to the problem.

    Great video. As a long time but casual fan (I don't take notice of tiny aero package upgrades and the like) this explained it really well. F1 has some amazing talent right now and of course there has been some fantastic racing lately, but 2021 regs seems like it will unlock "real racing" again. Rather than DRS passes we should have much closer wheel to wheel racing even through corners leading to passes in new places we might have seen far less of currently. Now we can watch drivers competing even more fiercely, and one mistake will compromise you more now than perhaps in the past because your competitor will be right on your tail at all times and not hanging back to keep the superior airflow, and then relying on DRS to close the gap.

    @Star Saber that's a completely meaningless response you have there... DRS is objectively bad for the sport. It was always a stop gap measure which was only ever going to be around until the aero issue was resolved. It goes against a long tradition of the FIA's policy against active aero, and never really achieved what it set out to do anyway. Passing under DRS is rarely exciting. You can suggest I am being salty, you can suggest some "fanboi" take on the situation. Meanwhile, I will suggest if that really is the best comeback you could think of, perhaps you should sit down before you exert yourself ;)

That is a big part of the downforce ideas from back in the day. also part of why they had the big block off plates on the sides of the car. It wasn't just the venturi effect but an actual vacuum created by the fans. The image of the car with the vacuum fan is at 3:55 for those who want to see it and understand what they were doing back then.
