Being a circuit with many fast corners, the Suzuka track is placed among those commonly referred to with the term front-limited, a term used to describe those tracks on which the front tires are subject to more stress than the rear ones.
On this type of tracks, in fact, more than enjoying a stable car at the rear, it will be necessary to try to have greater precision of the front axle in order to avoid further stress to the front tires resulting from excessive oversteer. In fact, this is the risk of shifting the balance of the car too far forward.
As always, therefore, teams will go in search of the best compromise and will try to take into account the driving style of their drivers. There are those who prefer to have a more restless car rather than an almost precise one, then the F1 technicians must also think about the way in which the cars put energy into the tires and all this will contribute to the choice of the overall aerodynamic configuration for the Japanese Grand Prix weekend.
All photos of the rear wings from Suzuka It is for this reason that in Formula 1, during a weekend like that of Japan, we can admire (this time thanks to the photos taken by well-known Spanish journalist Albert Fabrega) so many different types of rear wing.
As we can see from the photos above, Mercedes has decided to focus on a more loaded wing than Red Bull, Ferrari, but also all the other teams. The solution seen on the RB18 represents a middle ground between Mercedes and that of the Maranello team, while we could consider Alpine and Williams the teams with the lower downforce configurations at the Suzuka circuit.
In line with what has been happening for a few weekends now, the Aston Martin stands out once again for the unprecedented nature of its solution. In this case, however, also Williams, just like the technicians of the Anglo-Canadian team, carry a mainplaine that forms an angle of almost 90 ° with the endplate.
