The technical in-depth volumes on Formula 1 published by Giorgio Nada have now been an unmissable event for fans of this motoring discipline for over two decades. The latest volume, edited by Paolo Filisetti, arrived at the end of 2023, three years after the previous one, but it certainly repays the patience with analysis, details and above all high-quality images: is a trip into technical innovations, specially concerning all the aerodynamic details refined to accommodate (and in some cases overcome) the constraints imposed by the regulations.
The 192 pages of this volume, with texts in Italian and English, are divided into three large sections. The first groups together the 2020 (made shorter by the Covid19 epidemic) and 2021 seasons, it starts with a brief description of the main regulatory changes and of the general context followed by the description of cars of each team with the main evolutions introduced during the championship. The second part, focused on the 2022 season, occupies around a hundred pages and opens with an introductory part and insights into tires and brakes. The cars analysis takes place race by race, with a chapter dedicated to each of the 22 Grands Prix which includes a brief chronicle but above all places the emphasis on the performances of the teams and the balances changing, then moving on to the details of the new features of each single-seater car.
Finally, the last part anticipates the main innovations of each car entered in the 2023 championship. In support of the whole, the true added value of the work, hundreds of detailed color drawings which meticulously describe the aerodynamic and technical solutions and their functions, ranging from the external appendages to the cross-sections of the mechanical components.
