“Now this potentially I think is game-changing,” Aston Martin enters Hungary with an “armchair” rear wing design

Aston Martin

Aston Martin turns up to Hungary with another innovative design to their wings. As per the 2022 regulations, rear wings could not be sharp and teams are forced to curve them to reduce the drag for cars to easily follow. Aston Martin coming up with cheeky bends to the rules isn’t the first time. But this change in the wings could turn out to be a big part of the team’s performance if they come up with great results ahead.

With the new regulations coming into play in 2022, rear wings also took a part in the change. The updates in the wings were meant for better racing actions and to close the gap between the top and lower teams. As of now, this change has had positive impacts. Curve rear wings with not much room for DRS are applied when the car prepares for a better straight-line speed with less drag pushing the car backwards.

High downforce wings, that have more room for air to push the car down help them on turns with better grip. Hungaroring being a track that supports cars with better downforce, Aston Martin could unsurprisingly emerge on the mid-field with this change.

Ted Kravtiz commented on the change Aston wing and had the same philosophy for Aston’s better performance.
“Now this potentially I think is game-changing.”
“Now Aston Martin has turned up here this morning with a different interpretation of the rear wing, those little armchair rear wing endplates. That effectively may mimic last year’s rear wing with a higher downforce,” said Ted Kravtiz.

Is the Aston Martin Rear Wing legal?

With all reserves and rights for this idea to Aston Martin, does this make the rear wing legal as per the 2022 regulations? Ted Kravitz revealed all the rules to have been taken care of before the team used the wings. Although all the teams will come back to Martin’s with all their efforts to stop them from using a better wing, there is no reason for Aston to stop using it.

“Well, all the other teams of course as you can imagine say that it’s not the FIA’s intention of what they wanted these new rear wing rules to do but Aston Martin say that they have consulted with the FIA throughout the rear wing’s developments and had it approved at every stage, ” explained Ted Kravtiz as per the reports from PlanetF1.

The latest practice sessions did see an improved lapping speed for the Aston Martin on track. In FP2 Sebastian Vettel finished P7 and Lance Stroll managed a P11 finish.
