Italian GP: F1 technical images from the pitlane explained
Ferrari has introduced a trimmed top element front wing for the Italian Grand Prix to balance the aerodynamics with the lower downforce rear wing. There may also be another solution employed on the lower wing that has yet to be installed. The low downforce rear wing of the Aston Martin AMR23 has a flat mainplane element instead of the usual spoon-shaped design. Alpine’s A523 has an internal beam to secure the rear floor. Red Bull Racing will test different rear wing designs to find the right balance for Monza, with one variant featuring a trimmed upper flap and trailing edge Gurney. McLaren’s MCL60 has intricately-routed pipework for the front brake assembly. Alpine’s front brake arrangement features teardrop-shaped outlets for heat dissipation. Mercedes’ W14 front brake arrangement reveals the positioning of the caliper and disc drill pattern. Alpine’s low downforce front wing option includes a large notch in the upper flap. Another rear wing option for Red Bull is a higher downforce variant without the trimmed upper flap. Mercedes’ low downforce offering has a trimmed upper flap without Gurney and the infill panels for the endplate cutouts are back. Alpine has added a ride height sensor to the front wing for FP1.
