2023 vs 2024 rear wing in Miami, unsure if there is any significant difference?

Even compared to the wing they used in China the spoon looks deeper, but it could just be the angle the picture was taken at, curious why they've gone for just a deep spoon here.

Unchanged car 63 from looks, maybe HAMs doing the upgrade validation?

or maybe they never even intended to bring anything here and it was all just media speculation

Lewis said it's just a small upgrade this weekend, so most likely the big upgrade is still for imola

I wonder if they will change the floor inlet fences? Alpine had a similar style with the fences canting back, and changed it to a more vertical edge. Must be very good reason. Mercedes should look into it.

Only changes i've managed to spot is the floor stay is gone and changes at the rear of the car, which could just be the angle the picture was taken.

The holes and supports are still there. It could be as simple as they have not installed it yet, they might want to test without it to see if the data tracks with the output from the wind tunnel or (and I hope this is the one), the new floor is now stiff enough to run without stays. Which would be big in my opinion.

The brake duct winglets are spec parts, you can only change the positioning & alignment of them slightly

So the race 1 floor was useless and never used? after trying they reverted back to the testing floor until now
