RIS FairingsPerformanceLocal LoadRevisedConfirmed

Updated geometry The new updated geometry is aimed at increasing aerodynamic load locally and efficiently throughout the operating range of the car.

Rear WingPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Redesigned flap geometry The flap profile has been refined to efficiently increase rear wing load while maintaining a high- quality, stable flowfield.

AeroReported

McLaren made a huge step with a substantial floor upgrade for Hungary, and it seems Alpine has done something similar in the midfield here.

Floor BodyPerformanceLocal LoadNewConfirmed

New floor design The floor geometry has been revised to improve surface flow quality throughout the operating envelope and deliver increased local aerodynamic loading.

Floor BodyPerformanceFlow ConditioningConfirmed

Reprofiled elements The floor board has been reprofiled to improve the quality of the flow delivered to the rear of the car.

Sidepod/cokePerformanceFlow ConditioningNewConfirmed

New bodywork design

As part of this package update, the bodywork has been redesigned to work efficiently alongside the new floor while maintaining sufficient cooling capacity.

Floor EdgePerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Optimised floor edges The floor edges and profiles were redesigned to increase local aerodynamic loading, enhancing airflow management, efficiency, and overall performance gains.

DiffuserPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Reprofiled diffuser This diffuser geometry has been developed to increase local aerodynamic loading, providing an efficient performance gain across the full operating envelope of the car.

Rear CornerPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Reprofiled elements Elements on the rear drum face have been reprofiled to improve flow interaction with the floor and deliver local load.

OtherReported

Some solace comes in the form of the Alpine upgrade package, which should be fitted to his car in Monza. - SK

Floor FencesPerformanceLocal LoadNewConfirmed

New floor fence in the diffuser. Changes at the back of the car work in combination to increase rear load after evaluating the performance of the new package.

DiffuserPerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Modification to the lower edge of the diffuser winglet.

Front WingPerformanceLocal LoadNewConfirmed

Optional new front wing flap.

The flap extends the range of balance that can be achieved with front wing adjustment for car setup optimisation.

Front WingPerformanceLocal LoadNewConfirmed

Reduced chord of the final element outboard. The local changes to the final element and to the inboard foot of the FWEP improves the performance of the new front wing introduced at the previous event.

Front Wing EndplatePerformanceLocal LoadConfirmed

Modification to the inboard foot.

3 upgrades

Rear WingPerformanceLocal LoadNewConfirmed

New Rear Wing Assembly

A new rear wing assembly has been designed and delivered to this event, aiming to increase aerodynamic load efficiently in all conditions.

Coke/Engine CoverPerformanceLocal LoadRevisedConfirmed

Revised Central Bodywork The furniture around the coke as well as the tailpipe have been revised to extract additional efficient aerodynamic performance in conjunction with the rear wing.

AeroReported

McLaren’s latest rear wing upgrade raised some eyebrows ahead of Formula 1's Dutch Grand Prix thanks to a striking endplate solution

Rear CornerPerformanceFlow ConditioningRevisedConfirmed

Revised Rear Brake Duct The rear brake duct has been revised internally as well as externally, aiming at improved flow conditioning resulting in better aerodynamic and brake cooling performance.

1 upgrade

Floor BodyPerformanceLocal LoadRevisedConfirmed

Updated board brace layout and pick-ups, Front floor and vanes arrangement revision.

Reshaped floor edge curl and revised board foot geometry. This floor development targets a global increase in aerodynamic load across the entire operating range, combined with improved robustness of the underlying flow mechanisms, enhanced flow topology, and greater flow energy delivered to the rear diffuser

1 upgrade

Front CornerPerformanceFlow ConditioningConfirmed

Drum front lip detached from the duct inlet and camber adjusted.

Detaching the lip from the duct inlet improves flow quality over the inboard face of the drum throughout the steer range, improving flow to the rear of the car.

1 upgrade

Front CornerReliabilityWishbone shroud chord length and wheel bodywork gaitorConfirmed

To improve reliability of the wheel bodywork assembly, the lower wishbone rearward leg chord length has been locally shrunk to reduce strain on the gaitor at high steering angles.
