I have made a model of the allowed bodywork based on the latest 2018 Technical Regulations, and it appears that the paragraph added to chapter 3.5.1 which attempts to eliminate the T-wing (and also the shark fin) still allows the possibility to have "mini T-wings" on the 2018 cars :o

The new paragraph reads:

c) When viewed from the side, no bodywork forward of the rear wheel centre line may lie above a line parallel to the diagonal boundary defined in a) and intersecting the rear wheel centre line 650mm above the reference plane.

Here it is:

Nice study and graphic. I could easily imagine some stubby and/or relocated T-wings next year, especially after the teams have spent this year learning how to do them.

Stubby T-wings? Look what showed up on Ferrari's new track car.
