The latest technical upgrades and tweaks for the Qatar Grand Prix have been exploreed and analysed by PlanetF1.com's tech expert Uros Radovanovic...
After a little break, F1 action is revving up again, and this time it’s in Qatar – the last stop before we head to the Americas.
Let’s take a look at some of the key technical details for teams and the track itself that can give us insights into what to expect during the weekend.Qatar is one of the hottest tracks on the calendar. Despite being a night race, high temperatures are present, which naturally affect the performance of the cars and the drivers. Therefore teams must pay special attention to engine cooling, brakes, and the all-important tyres.
On the other hand, Mercedes’ rear wing appears entirely different. The DRS plane is set at a much shallower angle, which will allow for higher top speeds. The W14 car inherently struggles with drag more than others, leading the team to opt for this design.Another noticeable trend is the increased popularity of the “cut” endplate design. AlphaTauri was the first to introduce it, followed by other teams.
