What's the point of building a B spec
car? I think it means that they had massive problems with their A spec, so they had to bring these rushed out updates. Reminds me of Mclaren last year.
those pieces are carbon fibre and not made of silly putty to be created in just 5 days

New aero package dates back to the beginning of January.
The
car last week was mainly a testing vehicle to carry out system checks. They wanted 5 more days in the wind tunnel.
Compared to the
car shown at the initial launch, "every aerodynamic surface has changed".
I understand that you can't build those aero elements in 5 days. It's like they have already built the A spec
car, when they've realized that it's not gonna be good. They wasted their resources and wind tunnel time on a
car, that will not be used at all in
real conditions.
