Mercedes this year has a steering wheel that moves vertically to change the angle of the front wheels.

RedBull, Ferrari and Mercedes have different philosophies in their aero, car length, front wing etc.

The cars are far from cookie cutter, and 2022 regs already show different ways people could design the car. That's before we see how the teams do it. It's exciting times ahead for F1 in the shirt term. The 2026 engine reg is what matters.

It is crazy innovative. Not to mention Mercedes rear suspension geometry - but they don't provide a visual spectacle, just raw speed. If we removed the design restrictions, we'd see fairly similar cars anyway.
