This season will mark the third year of the current ground-effect design rulebook. The status quo is allowing teams to coalesce around the Red Bull-style downwash sidepod car architecture.
The notable exceptions to that philosophy were Mercedes and Ferrari, but both have committed to a new car concept for 2024 that will almost certainly fall in line with the rest of the grid.
Given the lack of a rules shake-up, which has the potential to catch teams out and jumble the order, Krack says it would be a ‘surprise’ to see any major changes to the form guide this year.
He said: “When you have stable rules, the way we have it now, teams will rather go evolutionary.
“And, if you have such a standout car, as we have with Red Bull, I think a lot of people will try to go in that direction.
“On the other hand, we have heard from Ferrari, from Mercedes, that they will make very big architectural changes. So, we are curious to see what that is going to bring.
“But I think, all in all, if you look at it, usually what happens if the technical regs stay [the same] the field is moving closer together year on year.”
