New rear wing endplates for Alpine in Baku. Might be track specific or might be a permanent evolution.

Can't wait to see how this car performs this weekend.

I like that subtle change a lot.

Endplate are new but they are similar to the Monza-Canada-Spa endplate spec too (the upwashing element above "Eurodatacar" is removed in that low DF spec, like in this Baku RW)

The Y250 treatment of their flaps have to be one of the most unique in the grid... It’s definitely a very different concept

They are, just about, the only team with undercut on the sidepods....

And the adjuster for the upper element is cleverly a vortex generator that creates outwash for the front wing.

There's a lot of different things. The upwash element is gone, instead the neutral element has become a downwash element, and the slots at the bottom of the end plate, are in line with the vortices being shed by the floor. It will definitely make the wing more efficient...I hope.

Interesting! They look to have gone to a more inboard-loading build for the elements, the previous profile looks to be trying to trade-offa bit of downforce against boosting the Y250 vortex.
