All Formula 1 teams except McLaren introduced new parts to the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona this weekend.
The changes are intended to accommodate more stringent front wing road tests introduced by the FIA to reduce excessive flexion.
The governing body notified the team of new regulations in January, giving them plenty of time to develop compliant designs.
However, McLaren has not submitted an update this weekend. The Woking-based team is believed to have already tested the revised front wing at Imola, so it did not require further approval from the FIA.
Ferrari
Front wing (performance, local load): Updated string and spanwise load distributions of wing elements, along with revised end plates and overboard tip rolls.
Rear wing (circuit specific, drag range): Redesign the overboard chip and roll with high downforce upper rear wing.
Red Bull
Front Wing (Performance, Local Load): The first and second elements that were primarily modified in sections. The flap elements and hints are consequential to the first two elements.
Mercedes
Floor Edge (Performance, Local Load): Increased cord floor edge wing with additional wings.
Floor fence (performance, flow conditioning):Regenerates fences on board.
Rear wing (performance, local load): Played mainplane and flap elements.
Aston Martin
Front wing (performance, local load): Details of revised tips between the front wing elements and the end plate. The main wing section has also been revised for compliance with the TD018H.
Takayama
Floor fence (performance, local load):Floor fence has been recharged.
Floor body (performance, local load): Local changes to floor shape
Haas
Front wing (performance, machine setup): Front wing construction has been updated.
Racing Bulls
Front wing (performance, flow conditioning):The main plane elements are new and have a lower center section.
Front wing end plate (performance, flow conditioning): The connection between the hint and FWEP has been updated.
Nose (performance, flow conditioning): The underside of the nose is rising while the tip is lowered.
Williams
Front wing (performance, flow conditioning): The front wing assembly is updated to meet the new bias regulations. Additionally, I had the opportunity to update the rear flap and FWEP geometry. The outboard section of the rear flap has a more back-off profile, and the vertical section of the end plate has a revised camber geometry.
Rear corner (circuit specific, cooling range): The rear brake duct has a revised outlet geometry that deflates the flow through the brake duct.
Cool the Louvre (circuit specific, cooling range): A new optional cooling ruble panel is available for this event. Increase the number of large Louvres to the maximum value the panel can accommodate.
Sauber
Floor body (performance, local load): Changes to several areas of the floor: floor fence, overboard floor edge, diffuser.
Cola/engine cover (performance, local load): Changed engine cover design.
Front wing (performance, local load): A small change to transition between the main plane and the front wing end plate.
