HUNGARY GP 2004 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
FIA Formula One Hungary Grand Prix 2004
BAR 006 - new winglets
BAR continued their endless development of the 006. The winglets, an evolution of those seen briefly at Silverstone, were, in fact, cleverly-shaped chimneys, designed to improve both airflow management and hot air venting. More efficient engine cooling was of particular benefit in Hungary's high August temperatures.
Williams FW26 - new nose
Williams ditched their famous walrus nose in a favour of a higher, far more traditional design, complete with new front wing. The old nose was particularly sensitive to side winds and the new one reduced the car's pitch sensitivity and improved its dynamics under braking and on the entry to corners.
