As seen earlier in the year on the Toyota and Ferrari, in Hungary Toro Rosso introduced rim shields for their rear wheels. A carbon lip is applied to the outer face of the wheel with the aim of improving brake cooling, whilst at the same time providing a minor aerodynamic gain by cutting turbulence...»
A further development of the endplates, used only by Pedro de la Rosa in Hungary. The leading edge is completely vertical, losing the curves seen on the previous version. This model was specifically designed for this track, in order to provide a better front-end balance. However, Kimi Raikkonen...»
A comparison between front wings used in the US and Hungary illustrate the differing requirements of the two tracks. Indianapolis features one very fast section - the final banked turn and long main straight - and one very slow section - the winding infield. The US wing thus has a smaller flap with...»
Hungary sees Honda's sixth major front wing revision. As the illustration shows, it is very different from the previous design introduced at Magny-Cours, which has a very different layout to the Hungaroring. The wing now sports a much squarer central spoon profile coupled to a wider flap, to produce...»
In Hungary the winglets in front of the sidepods have been changed for the third time this season. The vertical endplates are completely different to the previous version introduced at Silverstone, sporting a rounded front edge (blue arrow) to reduce the drag caused by vortices generated between...»
Due to the high downforce requirements of the Hungaroring, the rear wing's flap sports a high incidence angle, while the outer ends of its main profile bend upwards to increase airflow pressure close to the endplates. This raises downforce, and the small drag penalty is of little consequence here....»
