| For
Monaco the central 'box wing' loses its upper profile (2).
This reduces the car's pitch sensitivity under braking, and
the small loss of front downforce is recovered by adding ballast
inside the bottom of the nose cone. This has slightly changed
the overall balance of the car, while maintaining its sharpness
into corners, a quality paramount at this track. The largely
unchanged endplates now sport a single, small horizontal winglet
(1). |

| A
detail change for Monaco - a tiny, wing-like structure inside
the top of the front-brake cooling drum. Two horizontal holes
(blue arrows) allow air circulation, almost like small air
intakes for the brake callipers. As the structure turns with
the wheel it also acts as a mobile winglet, providing a small
but constant increase in front grip. Its overall width is
12cm, the maximum allowed for brake air intakes. Another change
is the holes in the edge of the brake disc, which now run
across the edge rather than along it, with each an 'eight'
shape rather than oval. These changes improve thermal heat
exchange through the disc's side walls. |
