Active aerodynamics finally arrives in Formula 1, allowing single-seaters to adjust their wings in real time.
Starting next season, this revolutionary technology will enable F1 cars to manage downforce and drag like never before, making races faster and more strategic.
However, this innovation is not entirely new. For decades, production cars, particularly supercars and iconic models like the McLaren F1, have already been using active aerodynamics. Adaptive spoilers and movable wings automatically adjust their position based on speed, braking, or corners, improving safety, fuel efficiency, and road performance.
Better late than never!
The difference between road and track? In F1, regulations have long limited active aerodynamic systems for safety reasons. The first movable wings tested as early as the 1970s had a troublesome tendency to dislocate! On the road, it has gradually integrated, providing comfort and efficiency to drivers. Now, Formula 1 is adopting this technology, in a regulated but ultra-sophisticated form, allowing for the optimization of every turn and straightaway.
