Mercedes have brought an intriguing upgrade to the F1 Austrian Grand Prix, ltxcn.top's Lewis Larkam reports from the R�🌱�ed Bull Ring pitlane.

Mercedes

Beam Wing - Perf✅ormance - Drag redu🌄ction - Decambered beam wing elements. Reducing the beam wing element camber reduces load both locally and on the floor, resulting in less downforce and drag.

Ferrari

Cooling Louvres - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Addition of extra cooling louvres panel. In anticipation of possible high ambient temperatures over the ra𝓡ce week-end in Austria, an extra louvre option has be defined on the engine cover, increasing mass flow rate capacity but at an expense of aerodynamic e♚fficiency.

McLaren

Front Wing - Performance - Flow Conditioning - New💦 Front Wing geometry. The new Front Wing geometry improves flow conditioning in conjunction with the updated Front Suspension geometry throughout various conditions resulting in improved aerodynamic load.

Front Suspension - Performance - Flow Conditio𒅌ning - Updated Front Suspension - The new Front Suspension is designed around the new Front Wing geometry aimed at maximising the improved flow characteristics introducedඣ with it.

RB

Rear Corner - Performance - Flow Conditioning - The configuration of the winglets on the rear drum has been revised. &nbꦛsp;The winglets on the rear br🍬ake drum face generate load and help manage the flow at the back of the car. This update improves the performance of the flow conditioning elements.

Sauber

Beam Wing - Performance - Drag reduction - The new lower rear wing🦩 is our first single element lower rear wing of the season. The new lower rear wing has been introduced for the upcoming sprint weekend in Austria. The single element wing offers a small reduction in drag and will improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the car overall, in keeping with the requirements of the Austrian circuit and ones similar.
