Quantifying the Impact of the 2022 Formula One Technical Regulations
The research quantifies the reduction in turbulent kinetic energy behind the car. While a 2019 car lost roughly 43% of its downforce when following one car length behind, these 2022 regulations were designed to reduce that loss to just 15% . Quantifying the Impact of the 2022 Formula One

It details how the simplified front and rear wings were engineered to be more rigid, preventing performance-degrading deformations. Race Strategy Insights (Mexico 2022) preventing performance-degrading deformations.
Mexico City’s thin air naturally reduces downforce. The paper explores how the return of ground effect was designed to compensate for reduced wing downforce while minimizing turbulence for following cars.
