Technical updates: 2024 Singapore Grand Prix

Multiple teams have brought just one new item each to the Singapore Grand Prix, with a focus on developments expected ahead of the next race at Circuit of The Americas.

The three-week gap between Singapore and the United States Grand Prix provides a significant opportunity to produce parts, but despite the short turnaround since Baku there are still updates this weekend. Red Bull has a front corner change that is for cooling purposes -- with an enlarged brake duct exit -- but Ferrari’s new front wing is for performance.

The third and fourth elements have been updated on the Ferrari, with the team saying it “offers performance and downstream flow features improvements over a wider polar range.”

McLaren has a high-downforce beam wing that is specific to Singapore’s drag levels, and similarly a more aggressive front wing configuration from Aston Martin is designed to balance the higher downforce levels it will run on the rear. There’s also a new rear wing at Alpine that sees the top reprofiled to increase rear wing loading.

Williams has a performance upgrade to its front suspension that aims to get more out of the development package it introduced in Zandvoort. Updated front wishbones, track rod and pushrod geometries, as well as brake duct surfaces and chassis leg fairings change the condition of the flow to the rest of the car and are designed to deliver more local load from the previous update.

There’s also a new part at RB, where a larger front wing flap “increases the amount of overall load generated by the front wing assembly, to provide the balance range necessary for high- downforce, high-balance circuits.”

Mercedes, Stake and Haas have not submitted any new components.
