What's inside @Cadillac_F1 's nose...

Haas #F1 wheelgun, as with all teams based on the Paoli Hurricane. But tuned and enhanced with a carbon cover, grip tape, moulding putty, status lights and a data connection to the pit gantry system.

A feature on the AMR26 borrowed from RBR, is the front suspension structure.
Both forward legs of the suspension are continuous, with a beam joining them left and right.
This could either make the assembly stiffer or create a pseudo anti roll effect 🤔

Ferrari's Speed Over Ground (SOG) sensor has shifted forwards. This might be for more sensor accuracy or aero.
Also known as a slip sensor, it measures the cars direction, along with steering angle, this tells the team the slip angle, if there's under/over steer

The new SLM pod winglet, a closer look at the floor leading edge teeth and the fan assembly to cool the car while stationary.

Reventec Powers Formula 1’s 2026 Active Aerodynamics Era Reventec is supporting Formula 1 teams by supplying newly developed sensors to measure active aerodynamics critical component movements.

Reventec have developed a sensor to measure #F1 wing position
They're a non-contact device developed to deliver reliable rear wing actuation data.
The sensor is semi‑remote allowing the electronics module to be mounted away from the actuator. #F1tech

Here's a view of the Red Bull power unit from N-Mode-Log on twitter

A look at @xavigazquez 📸 of the #F1 Audi nose structure
The sides are thick & form a large part of the impact structure, the lower edge then trimmed to allow for the sculpted lower surface, hence the chassis mounts are above this line.
All this is one piece, not sections
#F1tech

Haas, as expected have fitted an exhaust blown flap.
This creates upwash. which drives more downforce from the diffuser & top rear wing.
The diffuser extensions were fitted for R01, but the exhaust flap & winglets are new for R02. The wing brace is also reshaped to match the extensions.

Many people are surprised to see a compressed gas bottle on an #F1 car. In fact they gave run these since the 80s!
The engines do not run coil valve springs, but a pneumatic valve return system PVRS. This bottle is for nitrogen to keep the system pressurised.

As the season starts for FIA F1-Academy. Here's a look at the neat spec car that they run. It's an F4 specification Tatuus with F1 look-alike, bodywork.
The driver gets a carbon paddle shift, steering wheel, stacks of safety features.

Having another weekender, today in 🇫🇷 and found a bit of #F1tech

Ferrari front brake and duct #f1

#F1tech

Here's a rare look at a #F1 brake by wire (BBW) unit from @BremboBrakes. Rear braking is a mix disc brake & MGUK.
What pressure the driver puts into the pedal is measured by the ECU, which then balances the MGUK Regen and via the BBW disc any disc braking that's required
#F1tech

Something new (old) from @ScarbsTech workbench.
Younger followers may not have seen this before. In the 70/80s when fires & being trapped in the car were more common, rules demanded that drivers had an air supply into their helmet to allow them to breathe.
#F1 #F1tech #F1retro

Race performance is looking more complex this year:
-Race start/Lap1
-Energy management
-Tyre management
-Reliability
We will be lucky to see ten cars finishing. There's points on offer for the midfield today.

RBR's SLM set up
Thx to XPB
Inside the nose is a unit that both hydraulically pushes down the flaps & finely adjusts the flap angle, with a splined tool through the hole.
NB the rocker set-up is guesswork, there must a return spring too in case of hyd failure.
#F1 #F1tech @xavigazquez.bsky.social

Small details on the Red Bull first seen in testing.
Some strakes added to the wakeboards, also notice the twist in the support beam.
On the diffuser wall a vertical vane, in a similar manner to Mercedes.

Aston Martin have had huge problems, but the aero programme marches on relentlessly. With an all new front wing, with a creased mid down and a narrow section opening with Straight Line Mode. Also, sone clever work to integrate small turning vanes into the front of the floor.
#F1 #F1tech

Great pics from Audi of their outwash sidepod/floor philosophy
#F1 #F1tech

Williams have run a new front wing endplate strake, this requires the tyre temperature sensor pod to be moved.

Here's the 2026 #F1 clutch and damper from ZF Racing
An F1 clutch is typically 98mm diameter and weighs under 1kg.
Red Bull/VCarb have long been the key customers for their clutches. Altho I don't yet know about which teams are supplied in 2026

With F-Ducts & active aero currently a topic.
Let's look at the original F-Duct. Introduced by McLaren in 2010, this is a RBR duct from my collection.
Its used a fluid switch tripped by the driver covering the control duct in the cockpit, to stall the rear wing for more top speed.

Photo of a black Mercedes Formula 1 car on track during a high-speed corner. The car features turquoise Petronas branding along the sidepod and rear wing, with additional sponsor logos visible on the bodywork. The image captures the car in motion with a blurred background of asphalt, green runoff areas, and trackside barriers, emphasizing speed and aerodynamic performance. Overlaid on the image is bold white headline text stating: “Official: FIA closes the 2026 F1 engine compression ratio loophole.” Below the headline, smaller text explains that from June 1, 2026, the 16:1 compression limit will be checked in both cold and hot conditions at 130°C. The visual represents a major regulatory change affecting the 2026 Formula 1 power unit era and engine manufacturers, particularly Mercedes and its rivals.

Mercedes says the gains were minimal.
Rivals believed it could be worth up to 0.4s per lap.

Is this fair regulation… or a political reset before 2026?

Red Bull's Test2 update featured a revised floor leading edge and sidepod undercut.
The undercut helps DF at the rear.
The new inlet/4teeth create load at the front of the floor, with outwash under the floor edge and a clean flow under the rest of the floor.
It was all hidden in Test1
