Explanation of F1 technical images from the pitlane

Alpine followed the introduction of a new front wing architecture at Silverstone with a novel upper flap design in Hungary. The flaps feature a wavy trailing edge that helps deliver the required level of downforce while also providing the necessary support from an outwash standpoint.

Red Bull’s RB19 features a revised sidepod layout for the Hungarian GP, ​​with inlets that are much shallower and wider than those previously used by the team. This obviously has a huge impact on the undercut and the internal ducting has also been changed to take advantage of this.

Hungary’s Red Bull also appears to have a revised front wing format on the menu, adding a gurney flap to the inside edge of the trailing edge of the upper flap.

Mercedes followed in Alpine and Aston Martin’s footsteps by using a metal insert to connect the joint between the endplate and the tip section of the top flap, which allowed for a much larger cutout.
