Alpine has a new beam wing layout this weekend, with the upper of the two elements on the A522 reduced in chord, in order to improve aerodynamic efficiency.

Aston Martin is testing out an enlarged mirror design for the FIA as it evaluates whether to make changes to the regulations for 2023.

A great shot of the Red Bull RB18 as it’s loaded on to a truck to be taken back to the garage, which shows off the level of detail in the brake ducts, diffuser, beam wing and rear wing.
Ferrari F1-75 rear brake detail
A shot of the underside of the Ferrari F1-75’s gearbox carrier, rear suspension and brake assembly – note the design of the caliper housing, with ports to release heat, and the surface is coated to help manage temperatures.
AlphaTauri AT03 front brake detail
AlphaTauri’s front brake assembly without the disc fairing in position, also note the size and shape of the inlet scoop which backs straight onto the outlet.
A look at the stay arrangement under the chassis of the Mercedes W13, with a thinner metal stay used towards the front of the bib and a double leaf spring-like arrangement towards the rear.
The internal packaging of the Mercedes W13’s sidepods, which has a recess cut into the chassis for the radiators to be inserted into.
Aston Martin AMR22 front detail
The Aston Martin AMR22 is outfitted with a large kiel probe rake between the front wheel assembly and sidepods in order that the team can collect airflow data during Free Practice.

Red Bull Racing RB18 floor
The rear section of floor on the Red Bull RB18 is different on both cars once again, with Perez opting for the cutout and tongue-like wing extension, shown here, whereas Verstappen has the plain version.

Red Bull Racing RB18 rear wing detail
A closeup of the rear wing flap and endplate juncture on the Red Bull RB18, note the Gurney flap on the trailing edge of the upper flap discontinues in-line with the flap pivot, rather the edge of the flap.
Alpine A522 front wing detail
Alpine’s front wing, of which the team has a new specification this weekend to tie-in to the changes made at the rear of the car. The new spec is a slightly lower downforce option, with the flap configuration altered.
Williams also has a new front wing design available this weekend, with the outboard portion of the two upper flaps adjusted where they meet with the endplate. The changes will likely improve the outwash capability of the wing and result in an improved flow regime downstream.
Alfa Romeo has a new rear brake duct deflector for this race with the shape changed to improve flow alongside and into the diffuser. The design of the upper portion of the deflector fence is already somewhat contra to their rivals too, with an interestingly scooped section wherein another control vane resides.
A closeup of the test mirrors on the Aston Martin AMR22 which are similar to the current design, with a variety of flow conditioning surfaces used around the main body of the mirror.
AlphaTauri’s test mirrors were also a variation upon the design it’s using in 2022, with the main body and the winglet running over the top extended.
The normal specification wing mirror on the AlphaTauri AT03 for comparison.

Aston Martin are once again using the rear wing design that features the high, rolled endplate design at a circuit that demands more of a high downforce setup, having introduced it in Hungary but reverted to a lower downforce configuration without it in Belgium.
