Active aerodynamics banned for Monaco GP, teams scramble with 'engendro' wings

The FIA banned active aerodynamics, the former DRS, for the three days of the Monaco Grand Prix. The sudden rule change forced teams to quickly redesign their rear wings.

Several outfits created makeshift 'engendro' extensions to fill the vacant space, prioritising down‑force over aesthetics. While the on‑track benefit remains to be proven, increasing rear‑axle aerodynamic load can improve efficiency on the twisty circuit.

These improvised solutions highlight a new era of aerodynamic ingenuity in Monaco.
