Some teams have already prepared certain technical updates for the third stage of the championship, although they are not too large-scale so far. But this is how Red Bull Racing brought a modernized front wing to Melbourne, on which new end plates appeared, among other things.
In addition, on the RB19, the body panels in the rear wheel area have been slightly modified to increase cooling efficiency.
Mercedes are not satisfied with the speed of their new car and apparently they plan to make very serious changes to the design of the W14 but this will happen later but for now additional aerodynamic elements have appeared in the lower part to improve the characteristics of the airflow directed to the diffuser.
Small changes are presented by teams such as Alpine F1 and McLaren. The Renault factory team has received updated fairings for the Halo, a driver’s head protection system, to optimize the airflow passing over the A523.
Melbourne’s McLaren MCL60 has a smaller engine shroud, as Melbourne’s engine cooling requirements are not just high as they are on the Middle East stages. Also, the edges of the underside were subjected to some changes, which were carried out to improve the aerodynamic parameters of this important part of the car.
The Alfa Romeo C43 received a slightly different nose fairing and front wing, as well as rear-view mirror brackets.
AlphaTauri noticed some changes in the lower part and the team also reported that the diffuser was also upgraded.
Also in the Williams team during training they will try out a modernized front wing, on which aircraft of a slightly different shape are installed.
Ferrari and Aston Martin reported no new products this weekend.
