An extended sidepod panel for Toyota too

On Toyota TF108 At Barcelona

Just like Renault copied BMW Sauber's idea already at the beginning of the season, Toyota have not also seen the light and produced a similar item for their TF108. In fact it looks very similar to Renault's sidepod panel extention. It also features, as indicated in the image, the leading edge is curved inwards on the lower half of the element. This detail helps to direct air around the sidepods and towards the gearbox area.
Also in their new package update, Toyota have slightly changed their painting scheme as they no longer leave closed chimney unpainted, but instead have it painted all red. Hopefully for the drivers, it means that the chimneys won't have to be opened up anymore.
