As ever, pre-season testing has featured an innovative array of Aerodynamic solutions, so we thought we’d compare the top three teams to see exactly what they’re up to.

The biggest talking point of the 2018 season is the introduction of the Halo. It also has the biggest impact on the car’s aerodynamic performance and therefore, teams are doing everything they can to minimise it’s effect. Although the Halo is a standard part, there is still a small window in which the teams can develop the design. This has led to some teams such as Toro Rosso and Ferrari adding an additional element on top of the main structure.

We expect teams to have completely different designs by the time they get to the first round in Melbourne as once they have used the data from pre-season testing to validate their models, they will be able to refine their designs more effectively.
