At the spanish TV they said they´re testing a double T-wing wich purpose is to create some DF at low speed, and stalling the RW at high speed

Such a low level of discussion

Agreed. Arguing about whether a piece of carbon fibre is sanded or polished is totally irrelevant to the topic. As a result, a number of posts have been removed. Please try to post on topic.

Very Creative use of the t-wing!
I wonder if Redbull is already doing this?

Given the amount they flap around with vibration I think you'd have to be very careful trying to make a t-wing stall the main rear, you'd have massive attachment/reattachment issues.
I still think that they're purely free downforce for very little extra drag.

Nice to get an idea of how thick the floor is.

With the down angle of the hoop t-wing, is it possibly relaminating the air stream, and blowing the underside of the rear wing with super clean air? It looks like a laminar nozzle shape to me..

Looks like it is just conditioning the air from the engine cover to the rear wing that one, yes.
