F1 Teams Roll Out Monza Low-Drag Packages: McLaren Debuts New Wing, Red Bull Focuses on Floor

FIA filings confirm a split between all-new Monza wings versus conservative trims.

Overview

  • McLaren leads the update slate with an all-new rear wing featuring a shallower mainplane and short-chord flap, plus a revised beam wing, a trimmed front wing and reprofiled front suspension fairings.
  • Red Bull introduces a revised floor body with updated edges and fences and shortens the third and fourth front-wing elements, while relying on an existing low-downforce rear wing option.
  • Ferrari evaluated two configurations in practice and selected a more extreme low-downforce set-up with reduced front-wing flaps, a lower rear-wing angle and a single-element beam wing after ride-height and plank-wear checks.
  • Mercedes opts for modest tweaks that include floor-fence changes to aid diffuser performance, minor rear-wing tip revisions and a trimmed front wing.
  • Racing Bulls brings a broader package with updated floor parts, revised sidepods and new mirror housings, as Aston Martin, Haas and Williams run trimmed wing options and Alpine and Sauber declare no new components.
