Alfa Romeo joins F1 trend for rear wing endplate tweak
Three teams, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, and Alpine, have made modifications to their cars, specifically to the rear wing endplate. This modification involves the addition of an upwashing swage line on the external face of the endplate. Other teams, such as Williams, McLaren, AlphaTauri, and Mercedes, have also added their own versions of this feature. Aston Martin’s design had a shorter swage line, while Alpine extended it across the entire span of the endplate. Williams and AlphaTauri introduced their versions at the Australian and Monaco Grands Prix, respectively. McLaren and Mercedes also made changes to their rear wing endplates. Additionally, teams are exploring ways to increase downforce while minimizing drag, including adding features to the internal face of the endplate and optimizing the connection between the wing’s tip section and the mainplane.
