Active aerodynamics moved from concept to centrepiece in 2026, with cars now able to reconfigure their wings between corners and straights.
Low drag meets high downforce
The system allows a car to shed drag on the straights and recover downforce under braking, a balance that was previously impossible to strike.
For drivers, it means rethinking braking points and corner entry on every lap, adding a new layer of skill to the modern racing craft.
