Also notice the rear wing slot gap separators.

Sorry, you're wrong, it decidedly has an aero impact as well
It's aero, however, isn't the goal.
It is and has always been driven by aero. Ever since the first redbull that had pronounced rake. If you look back far enough on this forum. I think ive done some CFD experiments with varying rake, there is increased downforce from the floor.
You got a link to it? Searching through years and years of posts is a pain in the ass.

Yes. You can see now that there are three vertical elements ("r" cascades) attached to the front wing's main plane.

Maybe its not that important but i have just realized that Hamilton was using a different steering wheel in qualifying, more similar to that of Bottas. Anyone has a clue to why was that? Photo proof https://photos.app.goo.gl/i3qmaiDMeUxDfes18

He used to have more colorful switches I think, he has a different hairstyle every weekend so why not change your steering wheel too :D If the color of the switches and buttons is the only difference it really isn't that important :P

I was hoping to hear what Vanja had to say (from his formally educated point of view) since I know the flow-vis photos would be grabbed like six shooter at noon. But, since you answered first. I will work with ya. Convince me in your words and include any details about reading the Flow-vis. I have my own ideas... but this is something F1 articles have failed to reeeeaallly epxlain is why I asked him.

Double "R" wings. Double R sounds like "Doubler" so yeah, twice the downforce! :mrgreen:

Mercedes also among the teams that fitted different rearwing specs to both cars. Bottas got the lower downforce version (upper pic).

I'm sure it's just normal comparison... but it helps with coming through the field.
