Further modifications for Turkey as part of the ongoing development on the F1.06. The main profile is different, with a deeply rounded central spoon. The top edge of the endplate has changed too - it no longer slopes continuously downwards, but instead has a sharp cut with a vertical edge in the...
In Turkey, Toro Rosso are the latest team to adopt the double-decker wing, first introduced by Renault last year and since adopted by others in various forms. The upper profile extends from the inside edge of the endplate, exactly as on the Renault. The benefits of this solution are better handling...
After the triple mid wing seen in Hungary, Toyota move to a double for the lower downforce requirements of Turkey. Viewed from above, you can see the sinuous shape of the front mid wing bending rearwards, while the rear one features a delta shape, reminiscent of the wings of the famous Concorde...
After the outlawing of their mass dampers prior to Istanbul, Renault have introduced several aero changes in Turkey to better balance the car. These additional 'ears', positioned immediately ahead of the cockpit, are similar to those mounted further down the nose at front-suspension level. Their...

These now feature a clear saw-tooth profile towards the rear, while the front edge has lost its rounded top corner...
Ferrari first introduced these at Imola, to help extract the heat generated by the rear brakes. The lip of the shield separates the hot airflow from the rim walls, helping to stabilise tyre pressure by limiting the effect of the brake heat. In Turkey the concept is pushed further, with a wider lip...
