Aston Martin AMR26

[AR3-GP]

I'm just saying if you remove that top carbon fibre bow, the mechanics of the wing remains the same, look at it:

Unless its aero related I think the only reason is the top wing element fails its flex test or something without it.

I think it is done for stiffness reasons.

Old one for comparison:


Just a metal arm there, no big bow over the top.

Might be a clue here. Replacing that metal arm with this carbon bow could be in conjunction with the massive weight-saving program, trading a tiny bit of aero efficiency to pull as much weight out of the assembly as possible without compromising structural integrity. And they can stick a bunch of winglets on later. That's my best guess.

I'm sure they could have made a carbon arm without the need for the bow.
It could be for a future upgrade coming in Dutch grand prix

Another fatal flaw of the AMR26, it's green so they can't see the flow viz. No wonder they have problems. Rookie error!

Uv light genius?

Uv light genius?

Yes, if I'm actually being serious, I did wonder if that is used with flow viz. I don't know. Plus some of the car is black, plus it's a different green.

If it was a problem, there are othere colors of flow-vis. I remember seeing orange and red flow-vis.

Uv light genius?

If they were going for UV lights they would be using paint transparent in the optical range, so no-one else could see the flow around the car.
