Soil AlphaTauri AT03
AlphaTauri chose to have an edge wing in the forward part of the floor, with the wing mounted astride a cutout.

The AT03’s front wing endplate has a few interesting features, including both bluff and outward facing flap transitions and the lower position of the IR camera (compared to most of its rivals) .
Aston Martin AMR22 front wing
An unusual view of the Aston Martin front wing, which is not only detached from the nose, allowing us to see some of the ironwork used to connect it, but also missing the upper flaps.

Here is the front fender with the nose now attached, which has the upper flap sections that are stationary attached to the side of the nose and endplate.

Garage Aston Martin AMR22
Inside the garage the AMR22 is fitted with the lower downforce spoon shaped rear wing and note that the floor is fitted with edge mounted ride height sensors so data can be collected during free practice.
Technical details of the Aston Martin AMR22
You might need to take a second look at this one to realize what you’re looking at: it’s the rear part of the AMR22’s engine cover body and shows the height and width of the top cooling outlet.
Williams FW44 front fender
The front wing and noses of the Williams FW44 are stacked outside the garage so they can be more easily handled by the mechanics.
Alfa Romeo C42 front wing
It’s a similar tactic for Alfa Romeo but, while Williams has been making headlines for stripping paint on the car to save weight, you’ll notice the C42’s front wing has also been stripped down as much as possible.

This photo of the C42 as prepared has many details we can engage with including the low downforce rear wing, a view of the front of the steering wheel and the front and rear brake assemblies without the drum attached.
Haas VF-22 Garage
A similar photo of the Haas VF-22 lets us see some of the details that might otherwise be hidden. Note how he cut off a section of the trailing edge of the upper rear wing flap to reduce drag. Haas also added a Gurney flap to the trailing edge to help balance the car.

It’s a very smooth transition from the flat inner section of the C42’s rear wing to the arc of the endplate as the team looks to find the right balance between downforce and drag. Also note the teardrop flap pivot, which is angled for better flow management and has a split line inside when the DRS is deployed and the wing opens.

At the rear of the McLaren MCL36, the wing does not yet have a Gurney flap on the trailing edge, although it can be added if it needs to find additional balance.
