Aston Martin has revealed its new AMR24 in a brief launch this morning. After some struggles to improve their 2023 car during the season, the team is looking to have a solid platform for development in 2024.
A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
Kind of surprised that these outwash roll hoops, the ones that McLaren added at Austria and some of the stuff Merc are doing on the front wing are being allowed... I mean, we know throwing air out around the car makes the air closer to the car cleaner. The end result is that the car is faster but also makes passing harder.
FP2 Rear wing. Notice there is no downward slant accross the top of the wing.
Qualifying ... Notice how the top of the rear wing slants down for the last 15 cms to the outside. They didn't run the same rear wing in Quali/FP3 as they did in FP2, when they did the long runs. The FP3/Quali rear wing is taller.
