Changes to the sidepod inlets and floor edge have also been made to maximize aerodynamic load and airflow to critical areas of the car. In contrast, Mercedes has introduced an innovative front wing design on the W15 to improve rear airflow and reduce drag, along with other updates to optimize performance on the track. Ferrari’s SF-24 has quietly evolved with revisions to the sidepod inlet, engine cover, and rear suspension to enhance overall efficiency and adapt to the ever-changing competition. McLaren’s MCL38 showcases four updated features, including a modified sidepod inlet and new bodywork shape, following their successful development streak in the previous season.
