Rival copies of Ferrari’s flipping ‘Macarena’ rear wing and innovative ‘exhaust blowing’ mini-wing look set to appear across the Formula 1 field at the Miami Grand Prix, based on the early hints from teams’ garages.

Ferrari’s small extra wing that is believed to help channel exhaust gasses around the rear aero and its wing that flips completely upside down to maximise straightline speed gains are two of the most eye-catching innovations of the 2026 rules so far.

Spy shots that emerged from Red Bull’s filming day at Silverstone during the April calendar gap suggested it had developed its own version of the rotating wing, and pictures of the upgraded Red Bull in Miami appear to confirm this.

But Ferrari has not stood still. It kept close secrecy around its own filming day run at Monza last month, and has appeared in Miami with what seems to be an all-new version of the rotating wing.

There are also signs that Red Bull’s package includes its own version of Ferrari’s ‘exhaust-blowing’ wing, with both an additional small wing and what appears to be a partly closed-off exhaust.

Ferrari is still pushing forward in this area of its car, too, with a number of changes around its wing.

Other teams are expected to bring their own versions of these concepts to Miami, with Williams team principal James Vowles saying at the Axios and The Race Business Fuelling The Future: From Innovation to Investment event that his team’s upgraded car had “exhaust blowing going on” as part of its changes.

McLaren has also brought a major upgrade package that will break cover during Friday.

Gary Anderson and The Race's team in the F1 paddock will delve into all the upgrades in detail across the website, YouTube channel and in The Race Members' Club through the weekend.
