Ferrari will introduce its innovative rotating rear wing during the first practice session at the 2026 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai. The device, tested earlier in Bahrain pre-season, flips completely upside down to reduce drag on straights. Lewis Hamilton praised the team's efforts in accelerating its development for the weekend.
Several Formula 1 teams have modified their rear wings with additional winglets for the Monaco Grand Prix after straight mode was removed this weekend.

Ben Hodgkinson, director of Red Bull Ford Powertrains, predicts that while the internal combustion engine may drive differences in the new 2026 power units, aerodynamics pose a greater risk of dominance similar to Mercedes in 2014. Speaking ahead of Formula 1's regulatory overhaul, he emphasized the similarities in engine designs and the accessibility for newcomers like Audi. The FIA also anticipates engine performance to shape the grid order, though convergence is expected over time.
