One notable enhancement is the introduction of F1-style power steering, designed to make the car more accessible to a diverse range of drivers. This change is particularly significant as it aims to remove potential barriers, including the absence of power steering on prior iterations that may have hindered female competitors.
Bruno Michel, the Chief Executive of Formula 2, expressed pride in the new car’s design, emphasizing its role in preparing young talents for the challenges of Formula 1. Michel stated, “We’ve designed a powerful, challenging and safe car that will prepare young drivers for F1, and that will continue to provide great racing and a lot of overtaking opportunities.”
