Mark Slade thinks that everyone will go to a high rake concept eventually just like the Aston is now

The biggest change for me will be the removal of FTM for Spa. This alone will free the motor. They tested without it in Austria and they gathered the data needed. A better Macarena wing is the icing on the cake since they will go in full low downforce hoping to mitigate their engine deficit to the MB's. Our drivers are not slouches and they can cope with a handy car.

Removal of FTM has implications for downforce though. They did the test but that doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily go through with it. We’ll see if the trade off is worth it but I personally haven’t read anything that confirms they’re definitely going ahead with it. It might be that having a better Macarena wing means they can keep the FTM mode for the corners and still shed enough drag to negate the loss in power.
