Aston Martin AMR26

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Suspension arm on a flimsy pillar makes no sense. It can’t structurally support the loads going through there.

this might not be rear suspension. Could be a strut to support an aero sensor.
Sorry, I didn't notice your post, I have no idea what this is lol. It's very super thick if it is a strut

So whats up with all the front wing elements being connected with what appears to be non-pivoting stays.

Is it a non-active front wing for now? It does seem like the 3rd element is fixed to the endplate.

This would be nuts if true, but it appears like the middle element is hinged to the nosecone. That would mean the entire wing moves, but that can't be legal right? If it is, must be a loophole.

you can't move the whole wing, it would also touch the tarmac.

Those are access ports for the attachment bolts. Two right next to each other. Typical feature.

As for the rear suspension, RBR for years mounted their rear suspension arms to the RW pylon. We see here a more advanced configuration.

If this image is non AI-botched, it seems to have dual upwashing strakes on the rear wing endplate.

That front rear suspension arm mounts right under the front halo mount/middle of the Aston logo :shock:

Another McLaren-inspired feature, if you include the 'anti-dive' front suspension and driver headrest turning vanes.

The first team to use these upwashing strakes on outer surface of wing was alpine testing spec 2023
