Technicians and designers are able to achieve exceptional aerodynamic efficiency values, thanks to the use of fluid dynamic simulators such as CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and the processing of wind tunnel data.Ī common mistake is thinking that the front wing’s sole focus is creating downforce for the front wheel axle, but above all that is preparing the airflows that will then hit the rest of the car and in the correct way. The front wing of a modern F1 car is made up of various elements, some of which are subject to intense development throughout the course of a season.
Therefore even if you have the most efficient bargeboards, diffuser and rear wing, it’s all useless without an efficient front wing that is channeling the airflow exactly where it’s needed, and not only that, but conditioning it so it arrives in a useable manner. It is the first aerodynamic part that comes into contact with the undisturbed air flow, and for this reason it is responsible for how the air flow will interact with the rest of the car. The front wing on a Formula 1 car is one of the most important elements that make up the aerodynamics of the car. Made in CATIA V5 and rendered in Keyshot 10. Front Wing of the RB& from Red Bull Formula 1.
