Technical innovations presented in Singapore

      The characteristics of the Marina Bay street circuit are well known to the teams; everyone understands how to prepare a car for the Singapore Grand Prix, and at this stage of the season everyone is already preparing for 2026, so most championship entrants are not focused on technical novelties. Still, two teams reported some changes, albeit very few.

      Red Bull Racing

      On the RB21 the changes affected the front wing, and are, of course, aimed at increasing the efficiency of this crucial component of the aerodynamic package. Judging by the explanations provided by the team, the changes involve an adjusted curvature of the wing-plane profiles — which specific ones were not specified.

      "Development of the design continues, aimed at further exploration: the curvature of some sections of the wing has been increased to achieve a higher aerodynamic load while maintaining airflow stability," Red Bull Racing said.

      In addition, the configuration of the upper part of the engine cover has been changed: the louvres through which heat is expelled from the engine and other units and onboard systems have been enlarged. Naturally, this was done to improve cooling efficiency.

      Mercedes

      Mercedes is another team that reported an enhancement to the front wing, made to adjust aerodynamic load. Specifically, the profile of its adjustable plane has been changed. This was done to achieve an optimal balance specifically for the Singapore circuit, but curiously the level of downforce the wing generates has been reduced this time. Usually the goals are exactly the opposite.
