Around the suspension is clearly the best place to do this, especially this year with the beam wing gone. Keep it high enough to have minimal effect on the diffuser, and low enough to not interfere with the underside of the rear wing.
Also, I think the rear extremity of the cooling outlets are far enough back to allow the rear wing/diffusor/exhaust assembly to help suck all that crappy air harmlessly away.

Another valid point. Likely using the diffuser wake to suck the air out, rather like the underside of the RB rear wing from last year?

Hmm, were you on the forum before you went to bed? I don't think it is fair to Judge posts as a Moderator If you are drunk while on the forum....

I mean scrutinizing our posts with clouded judgement... How do we know whether it is the drunk flyboy or the sober one?

That front wing color scheme (looks great) about time they changed the grey to silver frankly they should change the whole car to silver (such as rear wing) it is the "Silver arrows" not the grey arrows.

Bigger monkey seat for Monaco, according to Giorgio Piola on Omnicorse, with an additional upper profile close to the pylons...

The more slotted one is actually likely to be the less efficient, more downforcy one. The slots are there to keep airflow attached through steeper changes in direction.

Yes, the same lower elements as the monkey seat they tested in Barcelona with extended endplates and an extra element.

Anyone else notice the flow conditioner now has a downward curve on the edge? I haven't seen this before...

LOADS of changes...interesting...I am very curious about the upper element of the new monkey wing setup - the one that has a flat profile.
