However, due to a change in plan, the Maranello team will introduce a slightly flexible front wing on the SF-24 for the upcoming Singapore GP, similar tothat took advantage of the grey area in the FIA regulations to create a semi-DRS effect on long straights during the race at Baku.
This decision, guided by team principal Fred Vasseur, and head of aerodynamics Diego Tondi, aims to bring forward the last significant component. The new front wing remains a critical element of aerodynamics, as it is the first part of the car to interact with airflow. Its performance is crucial, as it must function as anticipated by the aerodynamicists.
However, optimizing composite materials to achieve flex only at specific loads and speeds, without compromising aerodynamics, is a complex task. Mimicking McLaren's flex work with a single update is both challenging and time-consuming. Not to forget that the components must pass stringent checks by the FIA, especially amid its recent crackdown on flexi wings.
