Ferrari unveil genius trick on Hamilton car in Bahrain testing
Ferrari’s innovative rear wing trick on the SF-26 at Bahrain testing has shocked the F1 community. The new 2026 F1 cars feature active aerodynamics, allowing adjustments of front and rear wings on straights or corners. The flaps can actively open or close to provide downforce with drag or reduce drag with downforce.
During testing in Bahrain, Ferrari’s use of active aero caused a stir, especially with Hamilton’s wing opening on a straight. The unconventional upside down rear wing reportedly reduces drag and generates lift, giving Ferrari a unique advantage. The new wing may counterbalance the exhaust wing, improving the car’s downforce without sacrificing speed.
The ultimate impact of Ferrari’s rear wing design remains uncertain as it is still being analyzed. The team’s innovative approach has stirred up the competition, making them the talk of the F1 world.
