The AzerbaijanGP was all about maximising performance with lower drag on the high-speed straights 💨 Here’s how each F1 team tackled the challenge 🛠️
installed a new rear wing on the SF-23 which featured a revised layout for the mainplane, top flap and the tip section of the endplate.
And, while Ferrari had preferred the sawn-off tip section for its endplate before, the new variant has been returned to a more conventional square edge layout.Red Bull was the exception in Baku, as it continued to utilise the arrangement that’s propelled it towards the top of the speed trap charts throughout the course of the first three events.
This means the mainplane and top flap are not only taking up very little space in terms of the allowable box region but the chord of both is also significantly reduced. The upper flap’s trailing edge was also cut back to further improve the car’s top speed, albeit with a central strip retained in order to keep the same attachment point for the DRS mechanism, while the outer tip sections also remained at full height.
