Were the new F1 regulations working as expected in 2022? Pirelli's overtaking figures certainly suggest so. ✍️ Formula_Nerds
Comparing 2021 and 2022 overtaking statisticsPirelli’s Motorsport Manager Mario Isola announced the overtaking statistics for 2022.
While the 2021 season saw 599 overtakes, the number has significantly grown in 2022 to 785. On the increase of overtakes, Isola declared: “I believe it’s a very good number, 30% more, considering that is informed by the facts, so it’s not exaggerated. It’s quite a good point.” The number 785 is even more impressive, considering it does not include every overtake seen across the season. Isola explains that only “proper overtakes” made up the 785 number. The Pirelli boss elaborates that scenarios where drivers “overtake each other two or three times a lap,” were not counted. And scenarios where overtakes were made due to one car pitting or dropping down the order, were also not included.
“It’s not just the tyre, it’s the package that is working well, that was part of the design of the new package.”
