Browsing: wing design

Red Bull Racing’s balance woes continued in Italian Grand Prix qualifying, with the team’s lack of a bespoke Monza wing setup proving to be a major factor in their slower speeds compared to rivals like Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris. The team’s decision to trim down its existing low-downforce wing instead of creating a specialized solution was influenced by cost cap constraints and limited CFD and wind tunnel resources.

Formula 1 enthusiasts eagerly await the 2026 rules overhaul, as the sport takes a different path from the visually distinct cars and ground-effect aerodynamics introduced in 2022. With the FIA playing a more prominent role in the changes and a shift towards simplified wing designs, the 2026 Formula 1 season is poised to take an exciting turn.
