This looks like a photo from in-season testing. Double pylon and max downforce spec. Doesn’t match the photos coming out of Sochi. I reserve the right to be wrong though hah!

It's from Sochi, they have the spoon and this one there.

If you look at the endplates you'll see it's the newest model.

[siskue2005]

so finally they are going for swan neck ever since this new aero formula started from 2014.

That’s a heck of a spot by you my friend! That’s a fairly decent upgrade/change in that area.

Thanks for the clarification.

What’s the primary benefit of this configuration?

Cleaner flow under the wing?

Cleaner flow under the wing?

They dual supports act like a wing fence essentially

Wing fence?

yes there is not risk of flow detachment under the wing and better in yaw conditions and cross winds etc in this configuration

Looks like they were holding off on updates until they got the fundamental issues sorted.

And now they seem to have fixed the tyre heat/wear issues its good to see things like new wings.

Thanks.

Swan neck (attaching at the top rather than underneath) causes less disruption underneath the wing (well duh).

Double vs single is structural, weight of a large support beam vs 2 slimmer ones... maybe less side movement...

Is that a downwash wing in between the two swan neck mounts? Right where the mounts change from smooth black to a carbon weave.

[NoDivergence]

Yes, there is a downwash wing between the mounts. Possibly to influence the exhaust to be more level than going upward? This could improve diffuser performance
