What updates will the teams bring to Monza this weekend? For the fast circuit, the teams opt for a setup with low downforce. Changes to the front or rear wing are then the most chosen updates. What changes will we see?

What updates will the teams bring to Monza this weekend? The FIA document, in the hands of Albert Fabrega, reveals the following: Red Bull Racing will drive with a new rear wing flap this weekend. They have modified the rear wing flap chord to reduce the weight of the car and it has been brought especially for Monza to reduce drag. 

Ferrari will come to Monza with a new beam wing. The change has been made for aerodynamic reasons and also for the specific characteristics of the track. The beam wing was also taken to Belgium but was not used there yet.

McLaren chooses another shorter front wing and a narrower rear wing. This is again specifically for the fast Monza track and meant for a bit more balance and less drag.

Aston Martin both choose a different rear wing flap, but also a different front wing flap. Again, the adjustment is for extra balance and less drag. Mercedes also chooses a different front wing flap and a different rear wing. The adjustments are again specific to Monza and are meant to improve the balance and drag of the car.

Alpine removes the beam wing gurney. They want to lower the drag. Williams chooses a single-element beam wing to reduce downforce and drag.


AlphaTauri, Haas and Alfa Romeo will not be making any updates this weekend.
