Mercedes leverages Monaco rules with innovative wing design

Mercedes has introduced a radical aerodynamic solution for the Monaco Grand Prix on June 4, 2026. With active aerodynamics restricted, the team replaced standard wing actuators with a complex triple-flap array to enhance grip in the tight corners of Monaco. This innovative design utilizes the space of the now-useless actuator to generate increased downforce, catering to the low-speed demands of the course. Other teams continue to face challenges under the new technical regulations as Mercedes seeks a competitive edge through this loophole.
