Front Wing – Customized for the Track – Less Drag

The final segment of the wing has been shortened. To match the desired aerodynamic balance with the rear wing, the second flap element has been cut down to lower the lift at a specific speed.

Rear Wing – Tailored for specific circuits – Reduced Drag Range

The last component's chord length has been shortened to lower aerodynamic drag. This trimming of the flap chord helps in decreasing the load, consequently reducing drag.

Mercedes

Rear Wing – Efficiency – Lowering Drag

A minor adjustment has been made to the wing tip design. The flap tip has been retracted and the camber has been lessened to decrease local downforce and drag. This modification is ideal for a high lift-to-drag ratio circuit such as Monza.

Rear Wing – Efficiency – Drag Reduction: The flap has a shortened chord. Both the chord length and the camber of the flap have been decreased to lessen local downforce and drag. This adjustment is ideal for tracks with a high lift-to-drag ratio, such as Monza.

McLaren has made adjustments to the front corner of their car to meet the unique requirements of this particular circuit. They have introduced a front brake duct designed for high cooling. The main objective of these changes is to enhance the cooling performance of the brakes without compromising the car's aerodynamic efficiency.

Front Wing – Adapted for Specific Tracks – Extended Balance Range New Front Wing Flap The design of the Front Wing Flap has been updated to increase the range of aerodynamics balance, which may be necessary due to the unique layout of certain circuits.

Engine Cover and Coke Bottle Area – Performance – Enhanced Airflow Management with Updated Sidepod Design The redesigned sidepod enhances airflow management, significantly boosting the car's overall aerodynamic efficiency, particularly at the rear.

Aston Martin

Front Wing – Tailored for Specific Track – Balance Adjustment. The team introduced a new front wing flap with a gentler angle. This less aggressive design reduces the aerodynamic load on the wing, ensuring the car remains balanced with the lower downforce rear wing chosen for this event.

Beam Wing – Tailored for specific circuits – Reduced Drag Range

This beam wing features a shorter second element with a smaller chord. It generates less aerodynamic load compared to the earlier model and operates alongside the upper wing during this event to meet the desired drag specifications.

Rear Wing – Performance – Local Load

The upper rear section is designed with less aggressive features and offers two flap options. This assembly presents a milder upper wing cascade, producing lower load and drag compared to earlier versions, to enhance efficiency at this circuit.

Alpine

Front Wing – Track specific – Adjusted Balance Range Redesigned front wing flap Brief explanation of the update (20 to 100 words) The new flap, which has a lighter load, is designed to meet the necessary balance range when using lower rear wing configurations, a common setup for this circuit.

Williams

Front Wing – Endplate Circuit Specific – Drag Reduction Part of the trailing edge of the front wing endplate is cut off and the dive plane is adjusted. This decreases drag but also impacts the local downforce and airflow patterns from the front wing endplate. At Monza, this method is effective for enhancing lap time.

Front Wing – Tailored for the Circuit – Balance Range A newly designed, smaller rearward flap for the front wing is now an option. This updated shape helps decrease the local load on the front wing, ensuring the overall front load needed to balance the small rear wings used at this track.

Rear Wing – Tailored for Each Track – Drag Variability

The rear wing's upper flap has an optional modification that can be applied. This modification shortens the flap's chord length. Depending on the desired balance between downforce and drag for the weekend, this optional change will be implemented. By reducing the area of the rear wing, the trim decreases both downforce and drag, which could be advantageous for a track like Monza.

RB

Front Wing Circuit Specific – Balance Range

The flap on the front wing has a shorter chord length compared to earlier low balance parts. This smaller flap on the front wing decreases the total aerodynamic load produced by the front wing assembly, ensuring it complements the low drag rear wings used on this circuit.

Modifications to the floor body's performance and local load profile have been made to the main underfloor. These changes aim to enhance the generation of local downforce and better manage the flow structures and losses as they move downstream, reducing their adverse effects.

Rear Wing – Adapted for Each Track – Minimized Drag Range

The upper parts of the rear wing have been modified in terms of camber, chord, and angle to achieve a lower drag target. Tracks that require low downforce need rear wings that are more efficient and carry less load. By using aerofoil sections with reduced camber and set at lower angles, the result is decreased downforce and reduced induced drag.

Beam Wing – Adapted for specific circuits – Decreased chord length on the lower element. This adjustment lessens the aerodynamic load produced by the Beam Wing, facilitating finer adjustments of wing levels for optimal performance on low downforce tracks.

Halo – Efficiency – Enhancements to Halo Fairing Design Adjustments to the shape of the Halo fairing have been made to improve flow conditioning. This reduces the energy losses from the Halo and lessens their negative effects on downstream performance

Mirrors – Circuit Focused – Streamlined Design Simplified the shape around the primary mirror structure. Removed certain components around the mirror that produced downforce and drag in a less efficient manner compared to the demands at Monza.
