Active aerodynamics: driver-operable wing-flap actuators (front + rear) — Z-mode for cornering downforce, X-mode for straight-line drag reduction; Ground-effect Venturi underfloor retained from 2022-onward regulations; DRS (Drag Reduction System) replaced by the active rear-wing element
Why people argue about this
People often assume that having driver-operable wing-flap actuators means they can be physically manipulated by the driver mid-race for on-the-fly adjustments, but in reality, these devices are pre-programmed to optimize aerodynamics based on the car's speed and position, so drivers cannot alter their settings during a race.
