The 2022 Formula One season will see the next generation of F1 cars. The racing community is excited about seeing them zip around the race track next year. Leclerc got to try the 18-inch tries on the 2019 car at the test session in Abu Dhabi and hopes that they can adjust well for next year’s car.

As quoted from PlanetF1, Leclerc said, “It’s quite a bit different. This one is basically adapted to fit those bigger tires on, but apart from that it’s the 2019 car. So it’s going to be big-time different, but I think we’ll only know once we put the real 2022 car on track and do the correlation from the simulator to reality.”
