At the rear of the vehicle, the same basic DNA is used but specifically engineered to meet the demands imposed by the brake components.

Alpine’s own caliper was placed at the front of the group, requiring a different arrangement in terms of piping and case, as it had four teardrop-shaped ports that allowed heat to pass through the fairing.

Alpine’s higher downforce front wing model returns after it was last used in Hungary. This configuration features a wave-like back edge on the top lid.

The team has another version of this wing at its disposal as well, with a small strip of paint removed from the trailing edge of the upper fender, while a small fender has also been added on the outer section just behind the adjuster.

Ferrari appears to have outfitted its cars with different rear wing configurations for FP1 as it evaluates which one best suits the requirements of the track. In this case, the downforce configuration is higher with the rounded end section.

The other option is a lower downforce spoiler with a triangular cutout in the upper corner of the tip section.

A closer look at the design of the endplate and plunge plane in the Alfa Romeo C43, note how the team still uses two deeper chord elements at the front of the wing, with two short chord elements at the rear, while most competitors now have three shorter chord elements at the rear.

The FW45’s rear wing from the front gives us a much clearer picture of how the teams are using the offset tip section design to also rotate the shape of the main plane below, which in turn will alter the tip vortex.
