And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

Just take a good look at front wing evolution from 2009 and on, take a good look at the details and you'll learn pretty quickly

Here it is, what its meant to do is straighten airflow around the wheels and smoothen airflow to the coke bottle zone

imo air there is already pretty clean. It has only hit the outside face of the end plate. Winglets could help, but really small ones.

For example a lot of teams put in a small plate on the top of the end plate, which stops air mixing/air spillage

You see the small lips at the end of the end plate.

McLAren and I believe Red Bull both have small bumps there in that area which do the same thing.
