The larger tyres do affect the view of the driver, especially in tight corners. I was wondering if they would create any blind spots...

“The big wheels make the view to the front even worse”

Visibility will be further hampered by a regulation that states the 2022 cars must have flow deflectors protruding over the front wheels which will make it more difficult for drivers to aim at the apex.

That was an observation Vettel made while sampling in the simulator how the 2022 car will feel to drive.

“With the covers and the big wheels, you can’t see the kerbs at all,” he said.
