The Ferrari F1-75 nose and front wing assembly with a new laser ground clearance meter that will be used in free practice.


Another angle of the laser meter installed on the front wing of the Ferrari F1-75.


Underbody details of the RB18 exposed to view. You can see the cover that surrounds the front brake discs to manage temperatures and heat transmission and air flow. Also note the novel front suspension arrangement, with the one-piece upper wishbone intersecting the chassis.


Image of the Ferrari F1-75 front wing with the laser gauges on the ends as well as in the center. Note the large camera mounted on the left of the nose to capture wing deflection.


Top down overview of the Red Bull RB18 front wing, showing how the endplates curve slightly outwards.


A close-up of the Mercedes W13 floor tunnel entrance, with various heights and extractors protecting it. There are also the two chassis wings ahead of the narrow sidepod entrance.


For comparison, we have a picture of the Red Bull RB18’s ground edge and its wishbones.


A close-up of the end of the Mercedes W13 front wing, with the panel that has been created to allow access to the cable that feeds the infrared camera on top.


An overview of the Aston Martin AMR22 front wing, with the center section raised to encourage airflow underneath.


The rear wing of the Mercedes W13, as previously used in Jeddah, with the upper wing edge heavily trimmed to reduce the drag created.


Red Bull has a higher downforce rear wing setup this weekend, complete with a Gurney flap on the upper wing edge.


A close-up of the Alpine A522’s front wing. Note the various slot spacers used to keep the wing elements in check, while also providing directional assistance for passing airflow.


Compare with this other spec image of the Alpine front wing, fitted with a Gurney flap across the trailing edge of the upper flap. Also striking is the underside of the nose, with the outer panel removed, revealing the inner crash structure.


The two specifications of the Alpine A522 front wings stacked on top of each other more clearly show their differences.


The engine cover bodywork of both drivers’ Mercedes W13s on display outside the garage.


Under the covers of the front of the Mercedes W13 we can see the steering and part of the interior suspension.


The front wings of the W13, stacked outside the garage, feature an upper flap design with the trailing edge trimmed in key areas to balance downforce and drag.


A close-up of the Mercedes W13 front wing showing the cut-out sections better.


Some of the McLaren MCL36’s nose before front wing mounting, showing how the front section of the nose engages the front wing, rather than the nose, while also giving an idea of how the wings connect to the side of the nose.


Similarly, we have the Haas nose separated from the front wing at the top of this image, highlighting the connection between the two.


A top-down general view of the Alfa Romeo C42 front wing, which as noted, has five slot spacers on each side of the wing to connect the main plane to the second element.


The front wing and novel nose of the AlphaTauri AT03, with its tip protruding below the wing.


Peering into the AlphaTauri garage we can see the rear of the AT03 separated from the car as it prepares for action, with the gearbox mount, rear wing, rear suspension and struts in full view.


The rear-mounted AlphaTauri gives us another look at some of the interior suspension elements, while the saddle-shaped cooling arrangement above the power unit is also on view.


A look under the skin of the Williams FW44’s front brakes before the team starts building that area of the car.


The Ferrari F1-75 during the construction phase allows us to see some of the elements of the front suspension, the shock absorber under the chassis and the front brakes.
