Mercedes
New beam wing on the Me🌱rcedes W15 - for drag reducꦰtion
— Lewis Larkam (@Lewis_Larkam)
Beam Wing - Performance - Drag reduction - Decambered beam wing elements. Reducing the beam wing element camber reduces load both locally and on the floor, resulting in less downfor💮ce and drag.
Ferrari
Extra 🎃cooling louvres on the Ferrari at this weekend’🅷s
— Lewis Larkam (@Lewis_Larkam)
Cooling Louvres - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Addition of extra cooling louvres panel. In anticipation of possible high ambient temperatures ♈over the race week-end in Austria, an extra louvre option has be defined on the engine cover, increasing mass flow rate capacity but at an expense of aerodynamic efficiency.
McLaren
♚New front wing and front suspension for McLaren
— Lewis Larkam (@Lewis_Larkam)
Front Wing - Performance - Flow Conditioning - New Front Wing geometry. The new Front Wing geometry improves flow condജitioning in conjunction with the updated Front Suspension geometry throughout various conditions resulting in improved aerodynamic load.
Front Suspension - Performance - Flow Conditioning - Updated Front Suspension - The new Front Suspension is designed around the new Front Wing geometry aimed at maximising 🔴the improved flow characteristics introduced with it.
RB
Rear Corner - Performance - Flow Conditioning - The configuration of the winglets on the rear drum has been revised. The winglets on the rear brake drum face generate load and help manage the flow at the back of the car. This update imꦕproves the performance of the flow conditioning elements.
Sauber
Beam Wing - Performance - Drag reduction - The new lower rear wing is our first single element lower rear wing of the season. The new lower rear wing has been introduced ⛎for the upcoming sprint weekend in Austria. The single element wing offers a small reduction in drag and will improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the car overall, in keeping with the requirements of the Austrian circuit and ones similar.
No upgrades submitted
For Red Bull, Astonꦺ Martin, Alpine, Wilꦡliams or Haas.
