Ferrari’s new rear-wing design has caught the eye in pre-season testing in Bahrain.
Ferrari has introduced a unique and innovative rear-wing upgrade during F1 pre-season testing by flipping its design. Lewis Hamilton initially didn’t notice anything different when he hit the track, but later it was observed that the rear-wing flap actually flips 180 degrees when open. When transitioning from straight line to corner mode, the wing visibly flips to a closed position. The aim is to mimic an aircraft wing, creating lift while reducing drag, potentially stalling the rear-end and diffuser. This cutting-edge design sets Ferrari apart from its competitors, giving them a potential performance advantage. Hamilton faced some car issues during testing, limiting his track time with the unique wing configuration. Check out the groundbreaking design in action!
