In less than a month, 2020 F 1 will start in Melbourne, Australia. This year's F 1 is a relatively stable year, but it is also a year of change.
To be sure, 2020 is the last year before the big change of F 1 rules. By 20021,all racing designs will be re-invented. So some teams, such as Renault, have put their resources into 202 1.
Therefore, in 2020, all racing teams are destined to upgrade and develop on the basis of last year's racing, such as Ferrari, which has changed a lot, and maybe the Mercedes-Benz team with six championships has also changed a little.
It is said to be a changing year because the China station originally scheduled for April 19 was postponed due to the epidemic, but it is not entirely "bad news" for Shanghai. Affected by the epidemic, the second half of the year is definitely more conducive to tourism and publicity than the first half.
Before the deadline, this year's mainstream teams have released their own 2020 new cars, most of which are relatively low-key. Let's take a look at the fastest car on earth in the new season. Who looks more like a champion?
Mercedes team W 1 1
Mercedes has released 2020 new cars W 1 1, which looks little different from last year's cars. Andy Cowell, head of the team's engine department, said that a big difference this year came from the FE electric formula. Because Mercedes-Benz is fully involved in the FE project at the same time, it is now developing two completely different power systems in one place.
Di Kewell mentioned that FE's R&D experience was helpful to F 1, but he admitted that two parallel top racing events also made them feel the shortage of resources.
But in any case, Mercedes-Benz team W 1 1 seems to be the most champion. In addition to a good racing foundation, they also have the most powerful Hamilton.
Ferrari SF 1000
Ferrari had the strongest engine and the fastest linear speed last year, but the driver and conductor still lost to Mercedes-Benz again. This year, Ferrari will celebrate its1000th GP, so the new car in 2020 will be named.
SF 1000 will be matt color, and the main color will be deep red, highlighting the Italian flag above. Binotto, head of Ferrari team, stressed that this looks a bit like the SF 1000 of SF90 last year. In fact, it is a completely different car, and the design concept pursues maximum downforce.
Last year, Ferrari's car was "crazy on the straight and died on the detour", so the way to strengthen the downforce is to increase the speed of cornering, but can it challenge the Mercedes-Benz team that has won six consecutive championships this year? Ferrari fans may be skeptical.
Red Bull Racing Team RB 16
Red Bull won four drivers' championships in Vettel's era, but it has been lagging behind Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari since the turbocharging era began at 20 14.
The main reason is that the engine is disappointing, but since the Honda engine was changed last year, the stability has been greatly improved.
Red Bull Racing released 2020 new cars RB 16. RB 16 is equipped with an improved Honda engine and a new design of Neway. I believe that the new year will be more competitive. The two drivers of Red Bull Racing are still Vestapan and Alben.
Mclaren MCL35
Hamilton's first world championship was won by McLaren at its peak, but since McLaren entered the turbocharged era, his performance suddenly fell to the third-rate team.
McLaren always thought that Honda's engine cheated him, and finally the two companies broke up and Honda cooperated with Red Bull. It was later discovered that McLaren may have cheated Honda because Red Bull was very satisfied with Honda's engine.
However, McLaren performed well on 20 19, and its status is already rising. In addition, they will modify the Mercedes-Benz engine next year, and no one will underestimate this giant team.
The new MCL35 in 2020 is the first F 1 racing car designed by the new technical director of the team, James Kaye, and it is also the evolution version of MCL34 last year, but the side box, nose wing and tail of the racing car have been redesigned, and the gearbox and suspension are also brand-new designs.
Renault RS20
Renault released the RS20. They first released the painting color matching for the new season, and two drivers appeared in new color matching uniforms.
It has been many years since Renault returned to F 1. They came with great confidence and high investment, but the reality is that their performance is not very good. The team shifted the focus of research and development to 202 1, because 202 1 was a year when the rules of F 1 changed dramatically, and it was also a time for backward teams to turn over.
Alfa Romeo C39 motorcade
Alfa Romeo is considered as the "Ferrari Second Team", and the same group enjoys Ferrari engines. Besides, Alfa Romeo also has a favorite world champion of China fans-kimi raikkonen.
A few days ago, the new car C39 of Alfa Romeo 2020 made its maiden voyage at Fiorano Circuit, and kimi raikkonen was in charge of driving it.
Red Bull Racing AT0 1
In fact, Red Bull Team II completed its name change this year, and Red Bull Group used its fashion clothing brand "Alpha? Tauri gave the team a name, but everyone still used to call it "Little Red Bull".
Dr Marco, the consultant of Red Bull Racing Team, said that AlphaTauri Racing Team will be regarded as the sister team of Red Bull, not the "youth" team of Red Bull Racing Team. This means that the technical strength of Red Bull will be strengthened, and maybe they will become the dark horse this year.
Write it at the end
Since F 1 4 entered the V6 turbocharged era, Mercedes-Benz has won all the team championships and drivers' championships in six years, among which five drivers' championships were won by Hamilton. Mercedes cars are unparalleled in speed and stability.
So if you want to win the championship, the biggest chance is Mercedes and Hamilton. In addition, everyone still expects Ferrari to challenge Mercedes-Benz. Last year, their car was very fast. Maybe this year will be successful?
F 1 in 2020 is interesting, although it doesn't seem to change much. After all, this is the most advanced racing car in the world with the fastest comprehensive speed, much faster than FE!
