British Grand Prix Formula 1 technology gets new wings, halo modifications, and a significant enhancement

The British Grand Prix holds significant importance on the Formula 1 calendar, not only due to its historical value but also because of the demanding nature of the Silverstone circuit. Unsurprisingly, the majority of F1 teams have introduced enhancements for this race. Let’s explore what each team has brought to the table.

Red Bull has made adjustments to the aerodynamics around the edge of the floor and the winglet on the floor edge. The profiling of the floor edge has been subtly modified to generate more load in that area, and the winglet has been reshaped to fully exploit this change. The team describes this as a “subtle alteration to the edge wing detail, resulting in increased camber and load while maintaining flow stability.”

Mercedes, on the other hand, has made circuit-specific changes to the front and rear wings, as well as brake cooling. Silverstone is now highly responsive to drag reduction and does not place excessive demands on the brakes.

McLaren has opted for a lower downforce rear wing at Silverstone and has brought three options for the beam wing – low, medium, and high downforce. This allows them to find the optimal balance between drag and downforce, considering the specific conditions of the weekend. Additionally, they have introduced a new front wing with revised elements to achieve better load distribution. The brake duct now features a rear corner twin winglet instead of a single winglet, and the winglet on the halo has been removed to reduce drag on this track. McLaren has also provided an alternative fence option for the tunnel inlet, offering a different compromise between underbody and floor-edge flow.

One team that has undergone a major upgrade is Aston Martin. They have introduced all-new radiator inlets, floor, diffuser, and engine cover. The most noticeable change is the deeper radiator inlet shape, which improves rear airflow.

Ferrari, Alpine, and Williams have not declared any updates for this race.

In summary, the British Grand Prix has prompted several teams to bring upgrades to their cars. Each team has focused on specific areas, such as aerodynamics, wing adjustments, and cooling, to optimize performance on the demanding Silverstone circuit.
