Lewis Hamilton left the pits with the SF-26 sporting a highly innovative rotating rear wing. Rather than opening like the DRS of yesteryear, Ferrari’s design saw the upper elements of the rear wing rotate when the driver activated the new straight-line mode.

Ferrari has quietly parked its innovative rotating rear wing and reverted to a conventional configuration on its SF-26 in Shanghai.

The new rules, aimed at improving the racing spectacle, have made the cars smaller, lighter, and more agile, and feature new elements such as active aerodynamics, with movable front and rear wings replacing the previous Drag Reduction System.
