For straight - line
speed, a wing can either retreat into the bodywork — minimizing drag — or extend to give
downforce in the corners.
When minimal drag is ideal and at low
speeds, the wing sits flush with the rear bodywork; at higher
speeds, it is lifted via two hydraulic struts, generating
downforce.
