MERCEDES-AMG PETRONAS F1 TEAM | No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Halo | Performance - Flow Conditioning | Small flick added either side of the cockpit, behind the Halo. | Generates small vortices, which help control the flow out of the cockpit, and in doing so improve flow to the rear wing assembly. | ![Extracted image from page 4](images/car-presentation-submissions_p4_page.png) SCUDERIA FERRARI No updates submitted for this event. MCLAREN FORMULA 1 TEAM No updates submitted for this event. ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO FORMULA ONE TEAM No updates submitted for this event. BWT ALPINE F1 TEAM | No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Floor Body | | Performance - Flow Conditioning | Revised diffuser letterbox in the diffuser sidewall. Revised flow around the rear corner improves flow control around the rear tyre. | | 2 | Floor Fences | | Performance - Local Load | Heavily revised inboard front floor fence geometry. Significant change from flow to front of the floor gives an increase in overall downforce. | | 3 | Floor Edge | | Performance - Flow Conditioning | Revised floor edge wing. Different flow around the floor edge effecting performance further down the car. | ![Extracted image from page 9](images/car-presentation-submissions_p9_page.png) WILLIAMS RACING | No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Halo | Performance - Flow Conditioning | The geometry of the forward part of the HALO shroud is updated. | The new geoemtry cleans-up the flow around the HALO and better controls the losses from the cockpit opening. This helps improve the flow to the rear wing and beam wing and gives a small increase in aerodynamic efficiency. | ![Extracted image from page 11](images/car-presentation-submissions_p11_page.png) VISA CASH APP RB FORMULA ONE TEAM | No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Headrest | | Performance - Flow Conditioning | The area of the headrest behind the driver's helmet has been reshaped. Airflow separation behind the driver's helmet is reduced, improving the flow quality downstream. | Headrest STAKE F1 TEAM KICK SAUBER No updates submitted for this event. MONEYGRAM HAAS F1 TEAM | | Updated component | Primary reason for update Performance - Flow | Geometric differences compared to previous version | Brief description on how the update works The new layout improves floor extraction and works in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Floor Fences | Conditioning Performance - Local | Improved alignment of the front floor fences | combination with the new floor later edge, resulting in more downforce. This new geometry is designed to work in combination | | 2 | Floor Edge Coke/Engine | Load Performance - Drag | Re-alignment of the floor edge devices | with the new front floor fences, with the aim to improve drivability. This configuration allows improved performance all | | 3 | Cover | reduction Performance - Flow | Slimmer centre exit with larger cooling louver layout | over the cooling polar slope, as it reduces the lower energy flow impacting the rear end of the car. The incidence change on the rear corner elements | | 4 | Rear Corner | Conditioning Performance - Flow | Rear Corner devices incidence change | improves the local flow features, resulting in an increase in local load. The new design shrinks the frontal size of the Mirror | | 12 | Mirror | Conditioning | Slimmer Mirror housing | and therefore reduces its wake, minimizing the impact on the rear of the car. | ![Extracted image from page 16](images/car-presentation-submissions_p16_page.png)
