In here it will be just slots. And relatively small ones I think for the hottest race of the season. Now, had they appeared in cold weather testing along with scorch marks on the body work... :wink:

So what exactly is going on with those gills? For one thing, it looks like they've got something underneath like adjustable dampers or something. And they also have a bit of an odd geometry, with the straight slots combined with circular section louvers.
