Nothing official after a googling. But I do recall that they restricted the flexibility of the rear wing because of the McLaren advantage last season.

They look a lot more angular than I recall. But I could also be making that up.

I watched a bit last night. I thought the cars all looked really good. Very nimble and really planted in the road. Kinda makes sense as it's now the last year of the formula and they've all gotten out of it what they can get as they divert resources to the next car.
Should be a good season. Lots of new drivers and many more in new places.

I just watched the day 2 highlight. Yeah the wings are very different than last year. The DRS part of the wing isn't connected any longer to the sides and is hanging on a McLaren Senna style single arm.
It looks like these new rear wings are 3 piece instead of 1 solid unit like last year. 2x side pillar Aero wings and the main wing. Not counting the inner bits towards the rear of the diffuser.

That Williams looks promising. So far they look like they're going to be making some big leaps up the standings. Rock solid pace through 2 days. Don't care about the big 4 teams sandbagging a bit but Williams definitely looks a cut above the midfield.

Anyone pick up the F1 Lego Speed Champions sets? The Lego and F1 fan in me wants to get them all, but the wallet would not be happy.
As well, the logical part of me wonders if I'd just be building the same build 10 times, aside from a few unitque pieces, different colours, and different stickers.

I'm hopeful, but the Mercs and Ferrari are sandbagging. I'm also hopeful the results we see from Williams are as strong during race weekend. I've always been a Williams guy and McLaren 2nd. I want this to be that time again. With Aston Martin making some strides but their time is next year with Niewy having his fingerprints on the new 2026 car.

Man, being someone who's connected to F1's fan base and news more and more each year, you really see how much Drive to Survive is dramatized for full effect. It's still entertaining but I really wish they were more truthful.
F1 has enough real, actual drama that a factual show would still be very interesting and entertaining, in my opinion. But I know I'm not the target audience.
That being said, I enjoyed the personal aspects of Leclerc's episode. It was quite touching.

Im in for the pool once again. Will try not to miss more than 2 race weeks. Hoping to be able to go for a race somewhere this year.
