Mercedes has added more parts to the major car upgrade of its F1 car ahead of the Spanish GP.
The biggest tech talking point of the Spanish GP so far has been Ferrari's change of sidepod philosophy, as it moves away from its in-wash solution and more towards a Red Bull style of downwash.
Explaining the thinking behind this specific change, Ferrari said:"This development focuses on flow conditioning towards the rear wing assembly and rear corner, combined with a different cooling flow management, for overall car efficiency improvements." As well as the sidepod changes, Ferrari is introducing a revised top rear wing profile and changes to its flaps to better suit the aerodynamic requirements of the Barcelona track.
Ferrari has also introduced a new floor edge to capitalise on the sidepod changes and help better manage airflow for increased car performance.While Red Bull is dominant in F1 right now, that has not stopped it from bringing further improvements to its RB19 for the Spanish Grand Prix. The Milton Keynes-based squad has revised the edge profile of its floor to better suit local pressures for increased downforce.A small increase in local load towards the trailing edge of the diffuser profile in the upper corners has been extracted with a more curved profile, which has taken inspiration from competitors' designs.
