Sauber C31 - updated exhaust layout Sauber have retained for the Spanish round all the new solutions they tested at Mugello. The most important is the adoption of McLaren-style exhausts, which has necessitated some modification of the C31’s sidepods. The team, however, have kept the small opening in front of the rear tyres which they previously used.

Time to move on, don’t talk to anyone really on there any more. I talk to people and they never reply. Don’t need it anymore…

Ferrari F2012 - new rear wing Ferrari have brought a completely new rear wing with them to Spain. The endplates feature different gills (see main drawing) which have been inspired by those on the McLaren. You can see Ferrari’s previous solution in the smaller inset. There is also a twisted beam wing and an additional 15cm-wide element (see black arrow), which is similar in style to the one the team introduced on their previous rear wing in Bahrain (see larger inset).

Williams FW34 - brake duct revision Williams are running interesting rear brake ducts on the FW34 in Spain. They feature a new, extended element (see red arrows on main drawing) which closes the gap to the diffuser’s side channel. This is designed to improve the flow of air in this area. The previous solution can be seen in the smaller inset.

Red Bull RB8 - vented brake/wheel assembly Brake ducts are increasingly being designed and used as aero devices and Red Bull have even built their suspension uprights and wheel rims to work in conjunction with the ducts, so as to better direct hot airflow around the outside of the tyres. In this drawing you can see the central hub has a series of small holes. Air is drawn through the brake duct and drum, passing the disc and caliper, and is then expelled through these holes which align with similar openings in the wheel rim. This reduces disruptive waste airflow inboard of the wheel and also reduces the transfer of heat between the rim and the tyre.
