Alpine has paired its low downforce rear wing with just a single beam wing element, to reduce downforce and drag for the high speed street track.

The rear wing being employed is the same specification as the one used by the team at the Italian Grand Prix, which highlights how little downforce its running.

A wider shot of the MCL60 shows the straight edge being used across the span of the rear wing’s mainplane, rather than the spoon-shaped variant we’re used to seeing employed. This view also affords us a glimpse of how deep the gulley is at the rear of the sidepod downwash ramp.
