Much has been claimed that with the new generation F1 cars it will be easier to overtake and that the regulations have been setup in such a way to minimize the aerodynamic loss experienced by the car following closely.
In this ICON Article we give a little insight into the flow topologies. We used the iconCFD® simulation software and performed an investigation of the performance loss in close proximity driving of the new generation F1 cars.
