ow damn, we get that wing/non wing idea's, i blieve this is normal in the prototypes.

Hope they wont make problems of it, so to say it, those are not 'wings' per regulations, they dont have a trailing edge, we call them wings, but per regulations not, love things like this

The same design I think was on the Launch car, so 4 races in, its probably ok...Ferrari had that since forever on the front, albeit not X4.....

now I think McLaren, Renault and Toyota has this feature....Renault I believe is a specific update in time for this race....didn't gone through the evolution for the others...(I know McLaren didn't have it initially)

I think it's the picture he provided. I think the inlet size has been reduced. Sorry for the link instead the picture, the img feature wasn't working for some reason...

Spain:

For Spain the inlets look more closed off. Looking at the Spain picture, you can see the additional bodywork, a cowl if you will, around the sidepod inlets...I'm no expert but it does look like there's a difference...Just my eyes, I'm not saying it's a reality! :D

These remind me of the little flaps on the front of DTM cars, anyone agree??
Best regards. I guess this explains why I'm not at my post!

I thought they were rather like the DTM as well. More like the wings/tabs on the rear wheel though.

I think that front wing beats Ferrari in terms of complexity.

I love the "molded clay" look of these cars!

BGP looks to be sporting new mirror mounts as well. Maybe a high DF only part?

I don't have any pics, but I caught it in the FP2 onboard shots....
