Also new for @FIAWEC are the LED light panels. The matrix now shows car position, remaining energy for the stint in the 'virtual tank' and the pitstop stationary time. The panel has 720 multicolour LEDs, is flexible & driven of the ECU via canbus.

Here's a curious part, from BAR, a final drive gear. But, it looks like a spool (locked) differential. Rare, but spools were used in

Back in 1983, before active & FRIC suspension, Ligier

tested a Citroën hydraulic suspension. You can see the pressure vessel on the top of the chassis. I've never found any other details on it (?). As it was soon dropped for a conventional set-up.

On the @scarbstech workbench today. A Ferrari brake caliper cooling duct. This is used to cool the caliper body, pistons & pads A dedicated inlet on the outer duct feeds air in. Often the caliper itself will have ducting bonded onto it, to make sure the air goes into the specific area.

The Jordan 191, an iconic

car from 1991. It still ran a H-pattern gear lever, here's my no4 from the original production run. Its tiny and light, barely fits in your hand, at just 180mm long and 80g. For lightness the head is hollow and capped off.

Teams are using an exhaust trick to increase energy recovery. Its the opposite effect to Ferrari's exhaust blown flap. Instead the engines exhaust stops blowing momentarily when the driver lifts off (LO) either for Lift/Coast or braking.

A feature on the AMR26 borrowed from RBR, is the front suspension structure. Both forward legs of the suspension are continuous, with a beam joining them left and right. This could either make the assembly stiffer or create a pseudo anti roll effect 🤔

Ferrari's Speed Over Ground (SOG) sensor has shifted forwards. This might be for more sensor accuracy or aero. Also known as a slip sensor, it measures the cars direction, along with steering angle, this tells the team the slip angle, if there's under/over steer

Reventec have developed a sensor to measure
#F1
wing position They're a non-contact device developed to deliver reliable rear wing actuation data. The sensor is semi‑remote allowing the electronics module to be mounted away from the actuator.

The central section where the majority of these wing produce downforce. Two main flow structure will result with the outer section shaping the out flow, which couple with the outer main section. Vorticity/eddies will start off large slowly dissipating into smaller and smaller eddies, losing energy

Haas, as expected have fitted an exhaust blown flap. This creates upwash. which drives more downforce from the diffuser & top rear wing. The diffuser extensions were fitted for R01, but the exhaust flap & winglets are new for R02. The wing brace is also reshaped to match the extensions.

Many people are surprised to see a compressed gas bottle on an
#F1
car. In fact they gave run these since the 80s! The engines do not run coil valve springs, but a pneumatic valve return system PVRS. This bottle is for nitrogen to keep the system pressurised.
