One or both? It's only speculation. When they used the ducts in the top picture it was said to be for releasing hot air/cooling.hardingfv32 wrote:If it is a duct, does it help remove air from the engine cover area or help the beam wing?

I think right now with a new layout, their mechanical set-up(rake etc.) is not yet mature enough to harvest max DF. I also believe they'll need a couple updates to really start unlocking the DF in the flow structures of a brand new platform.(Same problems as Ferrari but to a lesser extent.)
That swan connectin at the beam wing has been there since the W03's launch. I am going to guess they are blowing the rear wing passively and possibly the beam wing as well. Sauber has something similar but I think theirs is mainly for support. This one looks quite a bit larger. If the trap speeds are indeed that high, then maybe that's what's happening, along with the front wing.Crucial_Xtreme wrote:One or both? It's only speculation.

I assume this set-up by itself wouldn't give a huge gain but when combined with other solutions, the intended result would be the same; downforce.
The same goes for their diffuser, with the hole under the rain light. The way it's configured it can't be for the starter. I believe these are small things the team is hoping to add up to something larger. Only speculation on my part. But it seems the common consensus from many tech articles & the like.
