The details of Mercedes’ new floor upgrade for the F1 United States Grand Prix have emerged.
The Floor Body modification improves the flow quality to the rear of the car and increases the rear downforce by raising the leading edge of the floor and reprofiling the tunnel roof. By doing this, the loading distribution on the outer fence is altered, resulting in better airflow.
The Floor Edge enhancement increases the forward floor load by extending the forward edge flap rearwards. This modification increases the local load on the high cambered forward section of the floor edge wing, improving the performance of the car.
These modifications work together to optimize the aerodynamics of the car, maximizing its performance on the track.
