Renault continue to develop the dominant R26, with 16 small changes for Canada according to the team's engineers. Some are clearly visible - like these nose winglets - while others are more subtle (but no less effective), internal revisions. The nose winglets have been doubled up to increase their...»
Another change for Canada is these bigger shields in front of the sidepods. The change may not be a particularly original one - Honda are among the other teams to carry similar revisions in Montreal - but it is certainly an important one. They improve airflow management over the sculpted sidepods -...»
An interesting change for Canada, which was tested extensively at Monza just prior to the race. The wing's dramatically curved main profile is much lower in the centre than at its extremities. This increases airflow pressure in the middle of the wing, while simultaneously improving airflow...»
Part of an extensive aero development for Canada is this front wing, featuring a completely different flap, which guarantees an adequate downforce level (very useful in the twisty section of the track characterised by a sequence of almost continuous corners), while also reducing drag - very useful...»
Some interesting aero changes for Montreal, aimed at increasing downforce on the circuit's twisty sections, without affecting top speed on the fast parts. Among them are these horizontal winglets at the top of the nose, not dissimilar to those on the Toyota and Renault. These reduce turbulence...»
This area of the Honda is continually being revised. In Montreal the 'shields' in front of the sidepods are dramatically larger, longer and higher. These elements seem able to provide better airflow management in this area of the car, with the Renault featuring a similar device here. The car's...»
