I don't think they ran it. I looked for picture but all I found was the same one we see here, the 2 wing.wiktor977 wrote: ↑05 May 2024, 21:26Has anyone seen a picture of the new single-beam wing? Also from what I saw they didn't run new rear wing that was seen on Thursday. Yesterday both cars had an old double-beam wing and an old rear wing that was from Jeddah with small modifications. Tbh this is weird and frankly little worrying that they prepared new parts for a weekend and at the end didn't even use them.

They said, going in, they might not run tge upgrades cause of the sprint weekend. Not enough practice sessions to test for the setup.wiktor977 wrote: ↑05 May 2024, 23:48Yeah, it looks like they didn't. I wonder why?diffuser wrote: ↑05 May 2024, 22:56I don't think they ran it.

There are alot of pictures of wings, cause they're visually in your face but they're not a performance differiator anymore. They tell more about how much DF your floor is generating or how efficient your DRS is than anything else.
I think, in the previous set of aero rules, you could just move the angle of attack of the rear wing. Now, you can't do that. So they just take how much rear wing angle of attack the simulator tells them they need and they adjust the top part of the rear wing. That, to me, is "circuit specific".
Aston Martin is happy with Mercedes' new rear suspension
During the past weekend Tom McCullough had also been asked a question about the Mercedes suspension, which, according to some rumors, is one of the causes of the W15's and, evidently, the AMR24's problems, especially with regard to tire usage. Aston Martin's Perfomance Director, however, flatly denied this rumor, stating that "we are happy with the suspension we have, our problems do not come from that element, but from how we use the tires."
