Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

Front wing outboard elements dropped in height and run into the footplate.

Running the front wing elements into the footplate, and adding strakes, results in more robust flow structures, improving flow to the rear of the car and gaining downforce.

Front wing endplate and footplate adjusted to accommodate the above.

Footplate stakes added. Diveplane camber adjusted.

Reprofiled diffuser roof By reprofiling the diffuser roof and sidewall we improve the surface flow quality throughout the operating envelope and generate more local load.

Rear winglet span and position redistribution Chord and position of the rear caketin winglets re-optimised to improve local flow control and performance of the diffuser.

Front caketin upper lip camber reduced.

Reduced upper lip camber improves flow structure robustness throughout the operating envelope, improving the onset flow to the rear wing.

Reprofiled elements Reprofiled elements to improve local pressure distribution and reduce separations at the extremes of the operating envelope, resulting in increased local load.

Additional slots Re-optimisation of floor corner slot arrangement to both increase local load and to also improve flow into the diffuser and hence rear load.
