The revised front-wings for the 2019 Formula 1 season have made their debut in prototype form at the in-season Hungaroring test, with Force India and Williams both running their own versions, whilst Red Bull are trialling a more complex version that looks to be a hybrid of the 2018/19 regulations.
Formula 1 is introducing a revised front-wing specification for next season in a bid to reduce downforce levels and enhance the quality of racing, particularly by reducing the complexity of the front-wing so it still produces downforce when following another car.
Under the revised regulations the wings will be 200mm wider and 25mm deeper, while other elements such as flaps and endplates will be eradicated.
The tweaked front-wing regulations are the first in a series of moves across the next few years undertaken in an attempt to improve racing, amid complaints from drivers that they cannot sufficiently follow a rival for a sustained period of time.
