RIS FairingsPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Small winglet placed on top of the Rear Impact Structure The winglet is shaped to promote upwash, which in turn improves the local aerodynamic characteristics and results in a corresponding increase in load.

Rear CornerPerformanceFlow ConditioningConfirmed

Profile modification to brake duct winglets.

The winglet geometry change helps improve the flow management at the back of the car and around the rear tyre.

HaloPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Winglet added to the halo pillar Introducing a winglet element to the halo pillar as a minor update.

Not event specific, it simply returns a small aerodynamic load benefit No updates.

Front WingPerformanceLocal LoadRevisedConfirmed

Updated front wing flap and end plate geometry The new flap and end plate lead to improved flow characteristics travelling further downstream along the car – locally and globally more efficient.

DiffuserPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Trailing edge detail changes on diffuser winglet cascade

Modifications made to the trailing edge lead to an increase in the local aerodynamic load acting on the winglet cascade, consequently increasing the overall aerodynamic load at the rear of the car.

NosePerformanceLocal LoadRevisedConfirmed

Updated nose design

In combination with the above mentioned step, the updated nose design allows a more efficient load extraction all along the slope.
