Singapore GP: F1 technical images direct from the pitlane

McLaren MCL36 side detail

McLaren has already teased us with images showing its new parts for this weekend when it released new renders of the MCL36. Here we can see the Red Bull-inspired sidepod changes, with the upper section carved away to expose the inlet.

AlphaTauri has a new nose and front wing design available this weekend, with the team moving away from the raised nose tip and central wing section of its old solution. A NACA-style inlet, similar to the one seen on the Ferrari F1-75, is being employed for driver cooling.

Mercedes returns to a high downforce rear wing setup, with an upturned leading edge applied to the mainplane in the central section. This closeup also presents us with a good view of the tongue and groove-like approach taken to the DRS flap to prevent any unwanted oscillations occurring.

Ferrari’s front wings stacked up outside the garage as it prepares the car within. Note the difference in Gurney flap specifications between the two wings, with the upper of the two sporting a Gurney on the outer section of the flap too.

A closeup of Alfa Romeo’s high downforce rear wing, which utilises a deeper spoon-shaped mainplane. Note the Gurney flap on the trailing edge of the upper flap for some additional support, while the teardrop shaped pivots are a nice touch worth mentioning.

A closeup of the McLaren MCL36’s front wing, note the curvature of the flaps as they meet with the endplate, which undoubtedly helps to massage the vortex being shed here to help shape the outwash being generated.

The Alfa Romeo mechanics work on the C42’s bib region, with the metal stay on clear show connecting it to the underside of the chassis. Also note the full-frontal disc fairing that makes up the internal brake drum assembly, given the caliper is mounted at the rear in the 9 o’clock position.

For comparison, the AlphaTauri AT03’s fairing resides in the top half of the assembly due to the caliper being mounted at the bottom in the 6 o’clock position.
