Ferrari Leads the Aero Charge
- Rear Wing (Increased Downforce): Ferrari takes center stage with a new rear wing featuring winglets on the pylon, aiming for a significant boost in downforce.
Strategic Tweaks from the Grid
- Aston Martin (Optimized Front Wing Load): Aston Martin implements a front wing flap tweak, aiming to refine "the loading distribution across the span of the front wing" for improved car performance.
- Alpine (Circuit-Specific Drag Reduction): Keeping options open, Alpine introduces a new beam wing that allows for lower drag configurations if the Melbourne track demands it.
- Williams (Improved Local Load Management): Williams tackles local load with a two-pronged attack: a revised rear brake duct exit scoop and accompanying changes to the winglets in that area.
RB and Kick Sauber Join the Upgrade Fray
- RB (Performance Upgrade): RB joins the fray with a new rear wing, presumably focused on overall performance improvement.
- Kick Sauber (Enhanced Aerodynamics): Stake, competing as Kick Sauber due to Australian regulations, unveils a significant front wing upgrade. Redesigned third and fourth elements alongside an adjusted endplate work in tandem to enhance the car's overall aerodynamic efficiency.
