The Enstone team insists on its idea of developing the A522 in search of aerodynamic efficiency: the solution they had introduced in Baku, with a second flap installed on the rear wing at the bottom with almost zero results, will be tested again in Canada.
In addition, the team of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon has also made the decision to look for an extra in the new radiator outlets with a new design, which allow limiting resistance to progress.
The Alpine wants to continue its growth after the Azerbaijan GP in Baku with a new aerodynamic look focused on bellies that have allowed the French team to improve the efficiency of the current A522 .

The coaching staff headed by Pat Fry made the decision to focus on the car’s top speeds, being aware of its lack of downforce, and the evolution of the car seems to have gone in that direction to continue collecting data from the concept already inaugurated in Baku. with a different beam wing than all of their rival teams.
Red Bull, at the time, chose to remove one of the two elements, while Alpine kept the double fin: if the lower rear wing is used to “extend” the rear extractor, the upper one was designed to be flatter, with almost zero incidence.
This solution will also be present in the single-seaters of both the French team’s drivers at the Canadian GP, an acceleration and braking track with straights interspersed with several chicanes, one of the main reasons why Alpine hopes to obtain good results this weekend. for his relentless pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency.
The rear wing on the A522 for Montreal is also slightly different from the one previously used, it is lower, with a flat main profile and a relatively shorter chord fin.
