I saw this for the first time in Monza. Check out the upper level splitter above the usual splitter. You have to look hard for it. Interesting and unique, but given the performance of the team, maybe this is an idea best left on the shelf???

The one below the nose? It's been there for almost the whole season.

And why should IT be on the shelf? The FW31 has been clearly a top 10 car all year apart from at 2 races which have very different aero requirements...
