Aston Martin AMR23 rear wing
Aston Martin has a new rear wing and beam wing assembly in Abu Dhabi, which features the open-ended tip section that the team introduced in Monaco but has barely appeared since. There’s also a gentle curvature of the trailing edge of the upper flap that blends into the lower tip section, while the endplate has also been modified to pinch more inwardly in the lower beam wing section.

The side view gives more of an idea of how the endplate has been twisted in the lower half, and note that a teardrop-shaped housing is mounted in the slit-style engine cover outlet, which houses a camera that’s looking back at the wing to monitor its performance.
