The lap time gain in drag reduction from using a rear ride-height device in MotoGP is now as significant as the anti-wheelie effect.

Miguel Oliveira arrives in style for his home Portimao MotoGP round, by leading a convoy of fans through the Portuguese countryside on his RC16.

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez may have been cagey about naming the exact cause of Honda's turning difficulties in pre-season testing. But new team-mate and younger brother Alex has confirmed it was indeed the aerodynamics.

MotoGP's opening cost-cutting measure in response to the coronavirus will be a freeze on engine and aerodynamic development until the 2022 season.

The cancellation of the Qatar MotoGP season-opener also meant the homologation of each team's 2020 engine design and the first of its two fairings could not take place as planned.

The revised 2020 MotoGP aerodynamic rules, aimed at closing the kind of 'grey areas' that resulted in four rival manufacturers (unsuccessfully) protesting the Ducati swingarm device after last year's Qatar race, have now been published.

The swingarm spoilers, nicknamed 'spoons' or 'chins', that ignited a feud between manufacturers in Qatar this year will still be legal under MotoGP's stricter aerodynamic regulations in 2020.

As expected, MotoGP's Grand Prix Commission has agreed stricter aerodynamic rules for the 2020 season.

Ducati, which kick-started the modern era of MotoGP winglets in 2015, has opened a temporary 'Anatomy of Speed' exhibition at its Bologna museum to highlight the key role of aerodynamics 'as a technological ingredient which rewrites the notion of performance'.

Technical director James Allison says Ferrari is returning to the cutting edge of F1 aerodynamics in 2014

McLaren's 'headline grabbing' technical signing is set to be unveiled as Peter Prodromou, Red Bull's current head of aerodynamics, according to reports from Japan.

In the wake of its abject start to the F1 2011 World Championship campaign, Virgin Racing has announced that it has parted company with technical director Nick Wirth to 'take greater control of its own destiny'

The notoriously unforgiving Italian media has accused Ferrari of an absence of imagination in the design of its F150? Italia, with the in-season testing ban similarly hampering the Scuderia's efforts to compete

Ferrari will arrive at the British Grand Prix with a revised version of its F60 challenger, determined to get on terms with Brawn GP and potentially spoil Jenson Button's hopes of adding to his victory tally on home ground.

McLaren-Mercedes has been pursuing a wild good chase for too long with its underperforming MP4-24, Lewis Hamilton has contended - and whilst he has vowed to keep on pushing for the remainder of the 2009 campaign, the reigning Formula 1 World Champion has suggested that his team would be best-serv

Nick Heidfeld has revealed the driver he believes to have been his quickest team-mate over his nine years in Formula 1 - and it isn't who you might perhaps expect.

In pure performance terms, aerodynamics are more important for circuit race cars than rally cars. While average speeds on a circuit might be as high as 200kph, on a rally they are nearer 100kph.
