The significance and originality of the research may dictate the guidelines towards an overall improvement of the category and it may set a precedent on how to model racing car aerodynamics. The problem is solved by performing different CFD simulations using the OpenFoam solver. Both free stream and flow disturbance (wake effects) conditions are evaluated in order to study and quantify the effects that the wake may cause on the latter case. adapted Formula 1 car (the latest major aerodynamic update) by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in order to argue whether the 2022 changes in the regulations are justified in terms of aerodynamic necessities. The present study is based on the evaluation and quantification of the aerodynamic performance on a 2017 spec. The high complexity of current Formula One aerodynamics has raised the question of whether an urgent modification in the existing aerodynamic package is required.
