Ferrari’s simple F1 design tweak that helped topple Red Bull
Ferrari surprised with a new winglet on the SF-24 in Melbourne, a move likely to be adopted by other teams during the season to help with heat rejection and aerodynamics. Notably, Ferrari switched to a single-element beam wing for the race, showing adaptability to circuit demands. Aston Martin also introduced a new front wing configuration in Australia to enhance overall car performance. Sauber underwent a comprehensive front wing overhaul in Australia, adopting a semi-detached flap and endplate juncture like Mercedes for increased outwash. Unfortunately, Zhou Guanyu had to start from the pitlane due to front wing damage during qualifying, highlighting the challenges of introducing new designs during a race weekend.
