F1 2022 - Safety Car Aerodynamics - EXPLAINED

Let's have a look at the 2022 F1 Safety Car and and answer the question why it's taking Safety Car aerodynamics to the next level.

How did light bars evolve over the years?
What disadvantages do they bring?
How did they integrate signal lights into the new F1 Safety Car for 2022?

Let me know how you like the new Safety Car in the comments below!

Waiting for Aston to roll out a retired GTE car as their safety car. Or even better a Valkyrie and AMG can use the Project One :p. Let the safety car wars commence!

I would love if the amg one and valkyrie become safety cars. Both are direct f1 descendants (or inspirations). They would be so fast, especially the valkyrie, approaching f1 competitive times.

It will be interesting to see if there are fewer drivers complaining about how slow the safety car is going only to be told they are going as fast as they can.

Really insightful. Had no idea safety car aero mattered this much. I thought the changes to the amg black series were just to look cooler

[davidbrown]

Thank you for the video, very interesting. I have seen the new Porsche 911 safety car they are going to use in WEC races, it's gorgeous.

wow nice again a unique video :D
btw is the aston changing too? or the aston sc are dumped?

[christophercripps]

Active aero element on rear wing? Has a (once?) banned movable aero aid on a FIA safety car?

[JacobTerherst]

LH won’t be complaining this year about the Merc Safety Car going slow, he will be complaining about the Merc he is driving going slow.

Oh, that's cool. But, even though the AMG GT BS is pretty much the fastest current road car around a track (with the exception of maybe the Senna or SF90), it still very much has a "road car pace". The F1 cars are so much faster that I am not sure the drivers will really notice a difference.

So funny to see this video after all the complains about the Aston aero issues!

This is what Dubai should buy for ther new fleets of police cars

[MetoFulcurm]

About time they made the safety car faster. Still the car is way too heavy.

[juanordonezgalban]

To think that even this car is like crawling for the slowest f1 car...

[JulesBrunoJjBaggy]

Pretty good, I only see these on those scum bag incognito cop cars, it's nice to see it being used for good finally.

[ktkace]

OP is too noisy imho, should turn down a few notches.my ears hurt.

For the same reason mounting bikes on your roof when traveling is stupid, that can give you much higher fuel consumption. If you need to carry bikes mount them on the back of your car, they are in the saperation zone anyway.

good stuff but for the usa at least they should use Tesla to show they are serious about emissions, besides tesla much faster also
