Azerbaijan GP: Additional F1 technical developments from the pitlane

AlphaTauri AT03 plant

AlphaTauri has chosen to have a wing on the front section of the ground, with the wing mounted on a cut.

The AT03’s front wing end plate has a couple of interesting features, such as the two outward flap and flap transitions and the lower position of the infrared camera (compared to many of its rivals).

Aston Martin AMR22 front wing

An unusual view of the front wing of the Aston Martin, which not only comes off the nose, which allows us to see some of the metal parts used to connect it, but also missing the upper fins.

Here is the front wing with the tip of the nose now attached, which has the sections of the upper flaps motionless attached to the side of the nose and to the end plate.

Here, one of Aston Martin’s mechanics is building the wing and adding the upper fins.

Garage Aston Martin AMR22

Inside the garage, the AMR22 is equipped with the lower wing in the form of a lower aerodynamic force and note that the floor has driving height sensors installed on the edge so that it is they can collect data during free workouts.

You may need to take a second look at this to see what you are looking at: it is the rear body section of the engine cover of the AMR22 and shows how high and wide the top cooling outlet is.

Williams FW44 front spoiler

The front wing and nose of the Williams FW44 are stacked outside the garage so that mechanics can handle them more easily.

Alfa Romeo C42 front wing

It’s a similar tactic for Alfa Romeo, but while Williams has been a big part of the headlines in terms of reducing its paint on the car to save weight, you’ll notice that the C42’s front spoiler has also been stripped as much as possible. .

This photograph of the C42 as it is prepared has many details for us to participate in, including the lower wing of the lower aerodynamic force, a view of the front of the steering wheel and the front and rear brake assemblies without the drum connected.

Garage Haas VF-22

A similar photograph of the Haas VF-22 allows us to see some of the details that might otherwise be obscured. Note how you cut a section of the back edge of the upper flap of the rear wing to reduce drag. Haas has also added a Gurney flap to the rear edge to help balance the car.

It is a very smooth transition from the inner flat section of the rear wing of the C42 to the arch of the end plate, as the team seeks to find the right balance of aerodynamic force and drag. Also note the teardrop-shaped flap pivot, which has an angle for better flow management and has a split line for when the DRS is deployed and the wing is opened.

A nice view of the rear of the Ferrari F1-75, including the diffuser, the bumper wing, the rear brake duct flap trims and the spoon-shaped rear wing.

As Ferrari mechanics prepare for pit stop practice, we have a brief look under the nose and wing of the F1-75.

On the back of the McLaren MCL36, the wing still doesn’t have a Gurney flap on the rear edge, though it could be added if you need to find some extra balance.
