F1 teams have wasted no time in the hunt to find marginal gains at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Mercedes and Red Bull have taken advantage of a rule change for the Monaco Grand Prix by incorporating eye-catching winglets on their Formula 1 cars. This change comes as active aero is banned this season for the Monte Carlo Street Circuit, giving teams room to show their inventiveness. The FIA’s technical regulations require bodywork to comply with specific legality boxes on the rear wing actuators. Teams like Mercedes and Red Bull have replaced these actuators with unique mini winglets for increased downforce. Despite the absence of active aero, teams are actively seeking other methods to enhance downforce for the demanding Monaco circuit. McLaren and Cadillac have also introduced innovative solutions, while Ferrari seems less inclined to exploit this area at the moment. This adjustment marks another strategic effort by F1 teams to capitalize on marginal gains and improve performance.
