Aston Martin has explained that the sensitive nature of tyres at last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix prompted it to elect against running its all-new Formula 1 rear wing design.
The Silverstone-based squad brought a new lower drag rear wing to Miami in the hope that a better straightline speed would help it in the fight against its rivals. However, despite running it in practice, Aston Martin went back to its more usual configuration – which inevitably made things harder for its drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll when it came to racing.
This meant the parts formed one surface, rather than creating a disassociation. This design is more akin to what was intended when the 2022 regulations were originally framed and before teams started to pursue the semi-detached variants. These alternative ideas have become commonplace up and down the grid and combat the inefficiencies posed at the endplate and flap juncture.
