REDBULL
Red Bull being one of the top leading teams had minimal changes in the car. They spoke about the list of changes on their car this season. Fans have been eagerly waiting to see the beast and it finally broke cover on the first day of pre season testing.
Although the list of changes is short and sweet, the teams have made sure to make a quite few detailed changes and squeezed in more performance in the car. There has been a change in their front wing design. In what is a major change in the area of the floor, the team has focused on the power.
MERCEDES
In the previous season, front wing enclave design was unique until FIA made it illegal for 2023 season. Even though Mercedes has somehow managed to create something similar or we can say an effect on the new F1 Mercedes car.
There has been a sleek change between the 4 planes of the front wing and the end plate. The team has made sure to create a gentle upward curve as the front wing profiles bend into the vertical end plate.
Even though the element was confirmed illegal by FIA, Mercedes has neatly opted to end the front wing profile slightly inboard. Mercedes did not really do well in the first 2 days. But it did pick up the pace on the final day.

FERRARI
With all the explanations that the teams have had to give Regarding the modifications, Ferrari has managed to woo everyone at the launch. it is clear that Ferrari has stayed close to the designs of previous seasons. Yet they have managed to make good upgrades on the car.
There has been a strong resemblance to last year’s car, the F1-75. The team has created level solutions for the side ducts even though anyone can pretty much miss the changes. Ferrari has highlighted an installation of a vertical inlet at the chassis. And they are referring to this inlet as a bypass duct. The aim is to energise the airflow, and in particular, the hot stream exiting from the upper gills.

There has been quite an upgrade on the aerodynamics of the car. It’s intriguing to look at the addition of the five vortex generators. Those have been installed to increase the outwash of airflow. In short, Ferrari has not failed to surprise with the upgrades car. the team is very focused on the power of the car.
