Could be a housing for the eventual DDRS system in preparation for Monza?
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Can someone explain me, what kind of "work" the 6 slots do, at the side of back wings on the top?

They reduce pressure that would otherwise be released in the form of strong, drag-inducing vorticies from the corners of the wing.

Massa has the same mirror mountings as Alonso did in Valencia.

Quotes of 'trying to repair Fernando's front wing' imply they only have 1 copy of the new FW per driver.

If there is only one new FW per driver, it means that they will be fixing Felipe's wing actually :)
