Car Presentation – Miami Grand Prix *ATLASSIAN WILLIAMS F1* Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences compared to previous version Brief description on how the update works (min 20, max 100 words) 1 Floor Performance – General floor aerodynamic performance The floor has refined contours, local thickness changes, and updated edge and interface details in the forward, mid and edge regions to suit the new layout. Improves floor airflow across conditions. Refined surfaces reduce sensitivity to setup, providing more repeatable aerodynamic load over a wider operating window. 2 Sidepod Performance – Cooling capability & mid-body flow The inlet lips, internal transitions and outer surfaces are reshaped with revised radii and fillets to match the new packaging. Extends usable cooling range while cleaning mid-body flow. Reshaped inlet lips, internal transitions and outer surfaces improve local flow quality and maintain cooling margin across ambient and track conditions. 3 Bodywork – engine cover / coke / cooling exits Performance – Rear flow delivery & cooling integration The engine cover, coke region and rear/upper cooling exits have revised surfaces, local fairings and openings to suit updated internal routing. Improves rear flow delivery while satisfying heat-rejection needs. Updated cover, coke and exit geometry improves extraction and reduces disruption, giving more consistent rear flow versus cooling demand. 4 Mirror assembly Performance – Local flow conditioning The mirror bodies, fillets and cut-backs are reshaped and repositioned to match the new hardpoints. Provides local flow conditioning around the cockpit. Mirror reshape and reposition guide flow down the cockpit side, improving conditions for downstream bodywork. 5 Tailpipe bracket Performance – Rear flow A new profiled bracket is added behind the tailpipe within the allowed volume, shaped to the new layout. Improves tail-region integration. Profiled bracket manages wake behind the tailpipe, reducing local separation and supporting more stable rear-end flow behaviour across conditions. 6 RIS fairings Performance – Rear flow & integration Fairings around the rear impact structure are revised with new local profiles, junctions and trailing-edge positions to suit surrounding hardware. Cleans flow around the rear impact structure. Revised fairings, junctions and trailing edges improve integration with local hardware, reducing losses and stabilising the rear flow field. 7 Rear brace wing Performance – Rear flow & integration Local profiles and junction details around the brace interfaces are updated, with new cut-lines and trailing-edge positions aligned to the new packaging. Updated rear wing brace fairings and cut-lines improve flow interaction with nearby elements, providing cleaner handover and more consistent rear airflow behaviour across conditions.
