REAR WING SPAIN
Image
Similar to Bahrain




REAR WING - TURKEY
Image
Smaller flap compared to Spain for lower amount of downforce




REAR WING MONACO
Image
There was an extra slot in the middle of the wingspan. This
allows the wing in that area to be steeper without risking to stall it. The wing had a parallel to the ground profile

Image




REAR WING - CANADA
Image
Smaller flap for lower downforce set up in Canada .





REAR WING - FRANCE
Image
The extra slot in the middle of the wingspan reappeared. The flap's extremities were bending upwards close to the endplates





REAR WING - G. BRITAIN
Image
Similar to France





REAR WING - GERMANY
Image
Similar to G. Britain
