1. Differences in Ferrari an Mercedes front wing designs
Even though premium Mercedes dominated the Formula 1 concept with a different design, beating its close rival, Ferrari, the latter automaker has said it won't be making any change to the proprietary Ferrari front wing design.
At the beginning of the year, there was a rise in curiosity about the different front wing design the two major competitors, Mercedes and Ferrari had for their Formula 1 race cars. While Mercedes decided to go with an increased downforce prototype, Ferrari went with an alternate design, which is calculated process outwash leading to enhanced aerodynamics.
