New Front Wing on RB21: The spec introduced here is for high-load tracks and will probably be used in Zandvoort, Singapore, Austin and Mexico, maybe even Brazil if found useful enough. Highly cambered on the outside, Red Bull seem to try to keep smaller upwash along the nose where the air is affecting the floor inlet
It's very
different load distribution across the span compared to previous high-load spec seen in Monaco, which features a moderate upwash mid-span
With that 'extremely turned-up' chord length 2/3rds of the way outwards, yes there is going to be more downforce, but what is the penalty in terms of airflow leaving the wing ? I wonder how much is the lateral flow going to increase by : which zone is going to get 'more wash' w.r.t the monaco(?) wing shown in the bottom pic ? inboard towards nose, or outboard towards wheel ?
