Soo... a double valley?

The waterslide is narrowed and starts with a distinct edge. This may be to contain the rotating airflow, which marries up with the revised undercut, to create more load over the diffuser.


The undercut feeds into the floor edge further back and with more more load.
The floor edge has been revised, but not in a substantially different way.
The rear tyre temperature sensor is embedded in the floor (red)


Tucked away on the halo are new vertical fins.

Very intrigued by the aggressive nature of how the waterslide starts on the AM23. They’ll probably never flow vis it but it seems like they’re trying to increase local load to get air to wash into the slide from the rest of the side pod. Ferraris is way more gentle curves wise

Saw Scarbs saying that but unless I'm wrong and I perfectly could be, those fins/sidewalls were there from the start, they just removed them temporally for Monaco and Spain and reintroduced them now for God knows why.

Also I wonder if on next year's car they will keep the louvres.

They put flow vis on it during FP2

Thanks. Intrigued by a picture that shows the flow over the top

Diffuser very far away from the rear wheels.

The way to go seems to be take the downwash to the rear by whatever means necessary (water slide), but more importantly manage the front and rear wheel wake and keep away from the diffuser.

Alonso has confirmed in RdP that they are happy with the new parts, which are behaving as the team expected.

He has also said that they will not be able to extract the full potential of the car until Silverstone yet because they are still optimizing everything.

Interesting.
Bottom line is : car was fast on slow corner but on other tracks not so much

This package aim to have a car that is good everywhere

You suppose their diffuser is much narrower than the legality box? That is very clever, the whole "less is more", less tyre squirt effect with the diffuser physically being further away etc.

Common feature--RB19 in Canada for comparison:



There is likely not much freedom for placement of the diffuser wall--would need the FIA 3D file to confirm.

Good angle of those squared off shoulders:
