Another change to the Renault's front wing occurred in Germany, where the endplates sported a particularly sculpted entry profile at the bottom edge. The main wing profile retained the central, deep-spoon shape, featuring extremities slightly higher than the main profile level. The adjustment was...
The R24 sported a new front wing in Europe, or rather it returned to something resembling the original design seen at the car's launch. Rather than the central deep spoon profile featured so far, now only the side extremities were raised, with an almost flat central section. The team's engineers...
The R24 sported an unusual, additional turning vane connected to the vertical bargeboards, to improve airflow efficiency around the bottom of the car. The horizontal design resembled similar elements used as main turning vanes by other teams.
At Imola Renault's endplates sported a vertical air vent not dissimilar to a solution seen on the Minardi since Melbourne. This design provided less drag at high speed allowing the team to run a more aggressive wing profile without raising overall drag.
To control engine temperatures the R24 sported very big chimneys coupled with additional air vents placed on the top edge of the sidepods. They doubtless had a negative impact on the aerodynamic efficiency of the car, but in this case the reliability gains justified the sacrifice.
