In simple terms:
2021 fuel was E5 (minimum 5.75% ethanol) 2022 fuel is E10 (minimum 10% ethanol) Some comments: Shell's F1 development manager Benoit Poulet told Motorsport.com: "The interesting aspect of the car performance is similar to when you put a [ethanol based] cooling gel on your fingers – you can feel the cooling effect that you get. It will be the same for the engine. It will be able to cool some parts of the power unit and that could be quite beneficial. We are working hard on it. The properties are certainly quite interesting for combustion, and I think we can do some interesting things. We have definitely found at the moment that this cooling effect is good for the engine." Moving to more sustainable fuel, former Honda man Yasuaki Asagi believes it will be “difficult” to get the same power from the engines in 2022 as the teams managed last season. Asked by Motorsport.com how much power will be lost, he replied: “That’s a secret. It seems other companies say it’s about the same but, on the contrary, making such an announcement means it’s difficult to get the same power as last year. The response to E10 fuel is the largest [challenge]. The engine architecture had already been set (with the new 2021 power unit) so we have made changes to bring out the best performance with E10 fuel. When it comes to E10 fuel, the power and energy it has with the same weight are reduced. That is the characteristic of alcohol fuel. On the other hand, the abnormal combustion (knocking) of the old fuel will be easier to control now. We are aiming for maximum efficiency, but with E10 fuel the power of the engine will also decrease and the amount of power generation will also decrease.” |

Cool, something for the engineers to get their heads round.

I hope that by mid season the racing has improved so much that they can finally ditch DRS. One can dream...

Let’s hope so. I see no reason for them to keep it now |

New study reckons biofuel is no good for environment.
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/us/u-...?ocid=msedgntp Probably funded by fossil fuel industry. |

Thank goodness we won't have a repeat of points being given out for a race that didn't happen

At the sprint rounds it seems to be that although Pole is awarded to fastest qualifier on Friday starting positions for Sunday will be the order of race positions in the sprint.Have I got that right?Hopefully I’m wrong.

Apologies if I have already asked this and it’s been answered; but are the cars narrower this year? They look narrower.
