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.

I have a suspicion about this rear wing, but I won't say it yet since I need to see another angle to be sure. Let's just say for now that the actuator appears to be heavily redesigned...

Here we have a better view of the RW actuator with both 'legs' connecting it to the mainplane. Looks like they will use 'normal' flap, non-macarena type

Okay I can see much more clearly now. It is not my suspicion. The actuator was redesigned, but just another version of the original. The legs are further apart and it appears that they no longer have the upper brace to the back of the 3rd element.

From Crash.net. That look like cooling entry or just where the Halo connects ?

It's always been there.

Thanks
That second picture is from last year's car. I'm not saying that this year's car has not had it, just haven't seen it pictured.

Actually I was wrong, sorry. That was on the '25 car #-o . The AMR26 doesn't have any inlets there (yet?).

You're right, sorry. Looking into it there's no inlet there on this year's car.

It looks like the old design has two leading posts side by side holding up the actuator, where as the new design has two single file.
