Aston Martin made substantial changes to floor, canoe shape, beam wing, halo, and diffuser
Ferrari introduced revised floor for better flow structure and aero loads stability
Red Bull reworked sidepod/engine cover bodywork with optimized front and rear brake ducts for Max Verstappen's car
Sauber brought fundamental upgrade consisting of new floor/sidepod/engine cover geometry
Formula 1 teams, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Sauber, and Red Bull, have brought significant upgrades to the Hungarian Grand Prix in an attempt to gain a competitive edge. Let's take a closer look at each team's updates.
Ferrari introduced a revised version of their upgraded floor after its performance fluctuated since its introduction in Spain. The team describes this as 'minor geometrical modification aimed at enhancing flow structure and aero loads stability across the full operating envelope.'
Aston Martin made substantial changes to their floor, canoe shape, beam wing, halo, floor body, fences and edge for better pressure distribution and diffuser exploitation.
Sauber brought a fundamental upgrade consisting of new floor/sidepod/engine cover geometry. These components are considered as one airflow regime which is at the core of the car's aerodynamic performance.
Red Bull reworked their sidepod/engine cover bodywork with a loss of high shoulder cooling channels and optimized front and rear brake ducts for Max Verstappen's car. The team claims this arrangement gives better cooling efficiency at low speeds.
It is important to note that all teams are under constant pressure to innovate and stay competitive in Formula 1. These updates may not guarantee success, but they certainly add an element of excitement to the upcoming race.
