The FIA has banned active aerodynamics for the Monaco Grand Prix — and seven of the 11 F1 teams have responded to the unique requirements of a straight-line mode-less weekend in Monte Carlo.
For the Monaco Grand Prix, seven out of the 11 F1 teams introduced specific upgrades due to the FIA’s ban on active aerodynamics.
The teams that brought revised rear wings are McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Racing Bulls, Haas, Audi, and Alpine.
The tight street circuit forced the disabling of straight-line mode, rendering actuators on front and rear wings unnecessary weight.
Teams adjusted their rear wings to increase downforce or reduce weight, crucial for Monaco’s demands.
Mercedes, Red Bull, and McLaren showcased standout designs with a focus on aero upgrades.
Ferrari stands out as the only top team without a rear wing change, opting for updates to front suspension, floor body, and diffuser instead.
