Ferrari tested the wing for active aerodynamics.

      On the second day of Pirelli tire testing at the Hungaroring circuit, the Ferrari team used an upgraded SF-25 car equipped with a front wing with controllable flaps. Thus, Scuderia became the first Formula 1 team to test an active aerodynamics front wing, which will be permitted in 2026. According to the Italian press, the FIA distributed a technical directive to teams allowing the testing of prototypes of 2026 Pirelli tires to experiment with the front wing fitted with active aerodynamics. This will enable Pirelli engineers to assess how two open flaps closing in turns will affect tire behavior on straights. On Wednesday, Leclerc's car was fitted with a hydraulically actuated front wing. However, it seems to be an experimental version, likely to have little in common with the system planned for the 2026 car. Interestingly, other teams opted to conserve their limited budgets and did not invest in developing an active aerodynamics front wing for Pirelli testing. The teams considered that the data collected during tire tests would be not particularly representative.
