A look at the Sauber C44 rear wing which has a double pillar layout with a shallow swan-neck arrangement. Also note the teardrop-shaped flap pivots which they were the first to introduce several seasons ago and have since found their way onto other cars up and down the grid.

Ferrari SF-24 rear wing detail

The Ferrari rear wing has a Gurney flap attached to the upper flap’s trailing edge but could be removed if the team can find the right balance, which would then likely boost straightline speed. Also note the team is continuing to use the semi-detached tip section solution it introduced this season.

Aston Martin AMR24 rear wing detail

Aston Martin’s rear wing features a varied chord height and trimmed trailing edge, which if we work inwards from the tip section it begins with a shorter chord section before reaching its maximum height, while a notch is also employed in the central section too.

Mercedes F1 W15 rear wing detail

Mercedes has a new lower downforce rear wing arrangement at its disposal this weekend, as the central portion of the mainplane has been flattened out and the upper flap follows similar contours. Also note the use of a notch in the centre of the upper flap to help reduce drag, while we’re also treated to a view of the DRS mechanism without the bodywork in place.
