Williams FW40 Mercedes

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.

Williams: sulla FW40 spuntano anche le... corna!

https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/willi ... na-927015/

Google translate:

"
The Grove team introduces a new aerodynamic package for the Red Bull Ring track: at the sides of the body there are two wing profiles that serve to split the streams and work in synergy with the new FW40 boardboards.

Williams now has the ... horns: they appeared on the sides of the FW40 chassis in the Red Bull Ring boxes where the Grove team brings some major aerodynamic innovations.

In fact, the new appendages will also be joined to several boardboats, following a concept that has developed, albeit in different forms, Mercedes, while the Ferrari who had experienced this solution at the beginning of the season abandoned it.

Actually, they are flow diverter that serves to direct the air, dividing the one that is to be cooled (that is, the one passing over the appendix) and the one that is destined to the bottom to be directed to the rear diffuser . In the novelty package there are also several bridge flow divers.

Williams, who won the first points with Lance Stroll in Baku, insists on aerodynamic developments, waiting to introduce in the back the expected changeover with the box of composite materials wanted by technical director Paddy Lowe that will allow for more rigidity in the rear And the adoption of a more modern suspension.
