New front wing on the top with the old on the bottom?

Looks like an adjustment to the endplates, there's a section that hangs down vertically now instead of the "curves"

Also it might be my eyes deceiving me but the main upper element looks.. I dunno.. "closer" to the front?
:oops:

couldn't find a better picture, sorry. :)

Yep, minor adjustments, The round channel is replaced by a flat with a lip at the bottom end.

Also the upper flap seems to be lower to the outsides.

looks like a pretty insane setup.
maybe its normal - is this different to what we know about the rest of the case setup.
I always thought the injectors had there own "hole" into the chamber

That type of setup would be called direct injection and it is much more difficult to implement, especially at F1 rev levels
