Ferrari literally flipped Formula 1’s active aero concept upside down in Bahrain on Thursday as it revealed a radical new rear wing solution
Ferrari surprised everyone in Bahrain with a radical new rear wing solution that flips upside down in straight mode to reduce drag. Lewis Hamilton tested the wing, which rotates further and ends up completely upside down on the straights. The innovative design aims to produce lift and minimize drag, potentially boosting top speed. The rear wing can rotate freely between corner and straight modes, as long as the transition time does not exceed 400ms. This cutting-edge solution may or may not be used in the upcoming season, as it is still in the evaluation phase. Teams like Ferrari are exploring ways to reduce drag and optimize aerodynamics to conserve battery energy in Formula 1 races.
