Aston Martin
Front Wing: Performance ꧙- Local Load. A new front wing with revised twist distribution alongside a new flap. The changes to the front wing and endplate modify the spanwise loading of the wing assembly to improve the performance.
Front Wing Endplate: Performance - Local Load. In combination with the front wing thꦛe endplate has revised tip details. The changes to the front wing and endplate modify the spanwise loading of the wing assembly to improve the performance.
Coke/Engine Cover: Performance - Local Load. Revised bodywork with a different coke line and simpler upper shoulder. The bodywork and floor in combination impro♉ve the flowfield under the floor increasing the local load generated on the lower surface and hence performance.
Floor Body: 🐟Performance - Local Load. The main body of the floor has evolved in most places with the floor edge development. The bodywork and floor in combination improve the flowfield under the fl♎oor increasing the local load generated on the lower surface and hence performance.
Floor Edge: Performance - Local Load. Small changes to thꦦe details of the floor edge wing and the main floor inboard of this. The bodywork and floor in combination improve the flowfield under the floor increasing the local load generated on the lower surface and hence performance.
Diffuser: Performance - Local Load. The roof and sidewall of the diffuser have a slightly modified profile. The bodywork and floor in combination improve
the flowfield under the floor increasing the local load generated on the lower surface 🍷and hence performance.
Alpine
Floor Body: Performance – Local Load Re-profiling of various parts of the main floor. General optimisation of the ⛄floor geometry to improve under floor flow quality with the objective of increasing the load generated by the floor.
Floor Edge: Performance – Local Load Floor Edge Modification. Re-designed floor edge to improve under floor flow quality. This floor edge works in conjunctiꦚon with the redesigned floor geometry.
Coke/Engine Cover: Performance - Flow Conditioning New Bodywork Shape. The bodywork has been reshaped to improve flow conditionin🙈g and to better interact with the floor and the rear of th𝄹e car.
Rear wing: Performance – Local Load Re-profiled rear wing main plane and flap. This r🐎ear wing assembly is introduced to offer a gain in efficiency with more rear wing loading. This constitജutes a suitable option for this track.
Williams

RB
Floor Body: Performance - Local Load. Profile changes to the main underfloor and chassis i𓂃nterface. Increased local downforce generation, and loss reduction of underfloor structures.
Sauber
Front Wing: Performance - Flow Conditioning All FW elements have been updated. The updated geometries aim to improve the front tyre flow structures. This has a positive effect to the flow field furth🍎er downstream on the car, improving both overall dowꦚnforce of the car and the aero characteristics.
Front Suspension: Performance - Flow Conditioning. Combined with the new FW we have updated the front suspension covers as well - pullrod, track rod and lower wishbone covers. Together with the new FW the front suspension covers𒐪 needed to be realigned based on the onset flow field to have clean flow features further downstream on the car.
Rear Suspension: Performance - Flow Conditioning Revised rear top wishbone cover. Rear top wishbone fairing upgrade with local flow condit♈ioning im༒provements. Positive interaction with the updated rear brake duct brings a small efficiency increase.
Rear Corner: Performance - Flow Conditioning. Combined with the revised rear top wishbone cover the upper rear brake duct deflectors were updated. The upper deflectors were updated in combination with the top wishbone c🐓over. I💫mproved local flow and positive interaction with the updated component brings a small efficiency increase.
Haas
Sidepod Inlet: Performance - Flow Conditioning Deeper Undercut. Increasing the undeꦬrcut unde🔯r the sidepod inlet favours clean air flow towards the rear of the car. Combined with the revised floor this allows a more balanced performance increase across the car.
Floor Body: Performance - Local Load Revised initial floor expansion and diffuser geometry. Increased 𝐆front floor suction combined with improved rear ex✤traction allows to increase the overall performance of the floor.
Floor Fences: Performance - Flow Conditioning Revised fence alignment The improved front floor extractiꦿon required a revised alignment of the front f🙈loor fences, as they must manage different flow features.
