Due to the high-speed nature of the Jeddah circuit, F1 teams have brought some interesting low-drag aero solutions for this weekend's SaudiArabianGP. Here's a closer look at some of the best technical developments seen in the pitlane:
The long straights and high-speed nature of Saudi Arabia’s Formula 1 track was always going to provide the perfect opportunity for teams to unveil their low drag ideas.Ferrari duly delivered a series of tweaks to its SF-23 F1 car, not only in order to tackle the specific challenges of the circuit but also as part of its ongoing quest to find more performance.
Ferrari’s solution is likely a quick workaround to improve matters, whilst a more solid solution is worked on for the upcoming races, given it’s only the rearmost flap that’s been modified. Red Bull has introduced another rear wing into its suite of options for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which isn’t massively different in terms of its appearance and isn’t right at the low downforce end of the scale either.
Meanwhile, the rear wing has been modified to better suit the high-speed characteristics of the Jeddah circuit, with the upper flap’s trailing edge trimmed back in the central section , whilst the endplate cut-out panel has also been changed to incorporate a full span section.
