Manufacturers have had to adjust their PUs to suit the different cornering characteristics of the 2022 cars, as well as having to deal with the change from E5 to E10 fuel.
In essence, the 2022 aerodynamic package means that this season drivers will be tackling corners in a different manner to previous years, and the PU suppliers have had to make changes to ensure optimum power delivery.
Thomas says HPP has done a lot of homework in conjunction with the chassis team in Brackley, but is ready to make further changes after early testing with the new cars.
“The 2022 car is very, very different,” Thomas said in a team video. “We know the aerodynamics are different.
“And from all the things that we’ve been told and from all the work we’ve done with the team here at Brackley, we believe that the car will be doing slightly different things, and the requests from the driver will be different as they go through the corners than they were in previous years.
