‘Someone Must Know the Answer’: Ian Poulter Has a Curious Question About the 2022 F1 Cars

It is no secret that Ian Poulter is a Formula 1 fanatic. But if you weren’t aware, this new Instagram story of him is quite the reminder of how interested he is in the sport.

Poulter took to his Instagram stories, raising a doubt about the newly released Formula 1 cars. He wrote, “Ok someone must know this answer. I’m noticing different length wheelbases between some of the new F1 cars that have been released. Is there a +- that the teams work too for this? The @astonmartinf1 looks to be a shorter wheelbase.”

The golfer soon got the answer he was looking for since he added another story right after the first one, pointing out the differences. Poulter wrote, “Difference… The @mclaren with a longer wheelbase to the Aston.”

Difference between the MCL36 and AMR22

According to the GP Blog website, there are a few differences in the newly released McLaren’s MCL36 from Aston Martin’s AMR22. The rear of the MCL36 looks a lot narrower than that of AMR22. The AMR22 has a narrow square opening with a half-disguised intake next to it in case of its sidepods. Meanwhile, the McLaren model chose a wider sidepod, which provides more cooling.

Both models differ in their way of front suspension. While McLaren opted for a pull-rod system, the Aston Martin model opted for a push-rod system. 

Formula 1 and Ian Poulter 

Ian is an English professional golfer. The now 46-year-old joined the PGA Tour in 2004, almost ten years after he turned pro. Poulter has won 10 European Tours, later named as the DP World Tour Championships. Although he has only won three PGA Tour events, two of them are the World Golf Championships. 

Poulter is widely famous for his love for Formula 1. He was once caught looking at his phone during the final round of the RBC Heritage Championship. Later, he confirmed that he was watching a Formula 1 event. 

It is often said that Ian loves Formula 1 as much as he loves golfing. But is that true? Well, the only way to find out is to put him behind the wheel and ask him if he’d like a putter instead. What do you think?
