The on-track action is over for F1 pre-season testing, with the teams now preparing themselves for the first race of the season in Bahrain. But how did each squad make the most of the final day of testing?
The third day of testing also allowed us to seek out some more of the interesting technical details we haven’t covered so far, with teams not only trialling new parts but also being less covert with the ones they might have been hiding in the opening few days.
The new version has two side effects, as the single pillar has a swan-neck top line that connects to the DRS pod, while a circular structure is needed at its base to wrap around the exhaust so it can connect with the crash structure.There are some trade-offs between the two solutions, not only in terms of their aerodynamic impact but also in their weight and how they deal with the associated loads.
It’s also interesting to see a design solution appear on this that was used by Alfa Romeo last season, with a teardrop-shaped flap pivot employed . While minimal, there will obviously be some aerodynamic benefits from this arrangement, including pushing the local airflow off the surface differently.A look under the front brake drum on the Red Bull RB19 as the mechanics work on the car reveals some of the changes that have been made by the team heading into 2023.
The rear end of the Alfa Romeo C43 removed from the car gives a great view of numerous components, from the beam and rear wings, very narrow crash structure, rear suspension and the rear brake ducts, including their associated winglets.
