Hungarian GP: F1 technical images from the pitlane explained

Alpine followed-up on the introduction of a new front wing architecture at Silverstone with a fresh upper flap design in Hungary. The flap features a wavy trailing edge to help deliver the level of downforce required, while also providing the necessary assistance from an outwash point of view.

Red Bull’s RB19 features a revised sidepod layout for the Hungarian GP, with a much shallower but wider inlet than has previously been employed by the team. This will clearly have a substantial impact on the undercut, with the internal ducting also changed to take advantage of this.

A revised front wing format also appears to be on the menu for Red Bull in Hungary, with a Gurney flap added to the inboard end of the trailing edge of the upper flap.

Mercedes has followed in the footsteps of Alpine and Aston Martin with a metal insert used to connect the union between the endplate and upper flap’s tip section, which enables a much larger cutout.

A large double camera pod has been installed on the Ferrari SF-23’s nose in preparation for Free Practice, with the team likely using them to look at how much the front wing is flexing.

Nose and front wing assemblies stacked up outside the Mercedes garage show the various specifications available to the team and drivers, with the newest at the front of the stack.

Alpine has installed a kiel probe array on the A523 ahead of the rear wheel assembly in order that it can capture additional airflow data during the early stages of FP1.

The rear view of the Ferrari SF-23 shows how much cooling has been opened up on the car, not only with the gills but also with the rear cooling outlets around the exhaust and rear suspension.
