For me, it looks like the "conventional" engine cover is now the standard, and the "high shoulder" engine cover will disappear quickly and will be back maybe just in las vegas.

Slightly odd because it was supposed to be only for high downforce tracks (it was introduced in Hungary and dropped the next race for Belgium).

I don't think of Brazil as a pure high DF track - there are two quite long stretches where you need low drag for higher top speed.

But the weather prediction were already 100% rain a week ago, so high DF was always the way to go.

Ah, fair point, and clever if that was their reasoning.
