This area of the car is under constant development by all teams. It is crucial to correctly manage the airflow here, where you begin controlling the air that passes to the rear of the car, feeding the rear wing and the under-body diffuser, and the air entering the sidepods for engine cooling. In...»
A slight geometry change in Spain, though the pick-up points remain the same, on the carbon fibre shell of the gearbox casing. The previous rotational dampers have been replaced with hydro-pneumatic items, which allow for faster set-up changes, with a wider and more precise range of settings. They...»
Introduced for Europe and retained in Barcelona, this change can now be considered definitive. The saw-tooth profile at the bottom of the barge board now features two 'teeth' bending upwards to dramatically reduce turbulence, and therefore improve both cooling and airflow management close to the...»
A closer look at the Ferrari in Spain reveals just how deep the car's aero development has been over the opening races of 2006. The engine cover and the whole rear area look visibly lower and narrower than on rival machines. The small black covers, resembling mini shark fins (blue arrow) on top of...»
Slight changes for Spain, with better airflow management helping to cut drag on this circuit's very long straights. This is achieved by effectively reducing the sectional area of the flap and main profile (while retaining their original general design) through the main profile bending dramatically...»
A very small, but interesting change for Spain, Toyota have doubled up on the small vertical fins placed in front of the horizontal turning vanes that were introduced in Malaysia. The modification aids airflow management in this area, reducing turbulence, but more importantly improving the quality...»
