Red Bull has followed in the footsteps of Alpine, AlphaTauri and McLaren in adopting the latest Formula 1 design trend with a new rear wing at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The upgrade on the RB19 incorporates the semi-detached wing tip section that has been pursued by the other teams for several races now.
This obviously has an impact on the shape of not only the tip section but also the rear cutout thereafter, with the designers having to rebalance their design to factor in downforce and drag requirements. “Taking inspiration from competitor designs, the end of the flap element has a revised curl to the endplate which offers more local load for this element for this particular upper wing design,” it said.
Comparatively their variant doesn’t have the metal bracket sit inboard of the endplate, rather it frames it. This in-turn allows the aerodynamicists to take a more liberal approach with the design of the rear cutout.
