Some differences in the floor near gearbox

Hello i'm new in this forum, even if it's long time i follow that, and i find discussions really interesting!
I was wondering if in this image I can really see a DDRS duct in the circle, what do you think?

Hello Marco, welcome. I do not believe that is for DDRS. The area in question has been on the car since the launch of the F2012.

Not really there are just hydraulics for DRS...

I m gona find pic of F2012...

I spy with my little eye....


I see turning veins for the ray mouth?

I think that they are turning veins too.

Yes, I realized too late it was there from the beginning, but i thought it coul be correlated with the hole on the rear wing.
However, now I think it can't be because the duct is too little for an air stream.

Woah! Do i see a RBR style hole in the rear wing endplate right above the beam wing! Look at the flo-vis where the beam wing meets the endplate!

[wesley123]

Those are vortices, nothing special really

There is a longer vertical winglet under the break duct, is that new? I recently saw this treatment on the williams too. I think this might be a nice tool for sealing the diffuser by better directing the exhaust gases.

[amouzouris]

It seems there is an upgrade on the brake ducts..
There is a new inlet (I think it is an inlet) on the monaco spec:



This is the spain spec:



I'm curious if that's an inlet for brake cooling tailored to monaco or for flow management.

Does that rear wing leading edge look a lot thicker than normal? It may just be the reflection, but the reflection looks to be following the entire profile of the leading edge and that would lead me to believe it isnt a reflection of something on the wall or the like.

It does seems like thicker.

I spent a little time looking at the rear wing trying to figure out the purpose of the new slots on the main plane. Thinking they might somehow be DDRS-related, I compared the difference in thickness between the endplates used in Bahrain to those currently on the car, because the beam wing would likely be blown via ducts within the endplates. There's a subtle difference in the way they're painted, which makes it difficult to detect any structural difference.

The red and white meet exactly on the leading edge of the "Bahrain-spec" endplates, while the red paint on the "Monaco-spec" endplates is slightly wrapped around to the inside. That makes it appear thicker, but it could also very easily just be an illusion.
