Formula 1 teams are going all out with their front wing modifications ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix to comply with the rigorous flexi-wing tests. The latest technical directive demands that front wings can only deflect a maximum of 10mm when subjected to a 1000N load, a reduction from the previous allowance of 15mm.

Teams have been hard at work enhancing their wings to meet these new criteria, with some opting for structural changes while others are going for more visible alterations to ensure stiffness and performance are maintained. Ferrari, for instance, has tweaked the load distribution across its wing elements and updated the geometry along with the endplates to adhere to the regulations.

Not to be outdone, Red Bull has made revisions to all four elements of their front wing, emphasizing the pursuit of ideal load characteristics while increasing stiffness without compromising weight. McLaren and Mercedes had already introduced new front wing designs at Imola to align with the updated rules, showcasing their commitment to staying competitive in the championship race.

Aston Martin took a different approach by reinforcing the structure of its front wing design and refining the tips and edges of the endplate for improved performance. On the other hand, Alpine and Haas have focused primarily on structural adjustments, with Haas admitting they have not exploited wing flex to the extent of other teams.

Racing Bulls has gone the extra mile by unveiling a brand-new nose and wing combination, featuring a drooping nose for enhanced underbody airflow. Williams has also joined the upgrade party, updating the geometry of the rearward flap and front wing endplate to optimize airflow patterns around the front brake ducts and floor.

Additionally, teams like Sauber, Ferrari, and Mercedes have introduced modifications to their rear wings to boost downforce and overall performance on the track. Mercedes, in particular, has introduced a revised higher-downforce rear wing along with new floor assemblies to further enhance their underbody aerodynamics.

With the competition heating up in the Formula 1 paddock, every team is leaving no stone unturned in their quest for speed and aerodynamic efficiency. The battle for supremacy continues to unfold, with teams pushing the boundaries of innovation to gain a competitive edge on the iconic Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
