Is that the Intercooler right above the Exhaust?

[iichel]

Maybe its a gearbox / mgu oil cooler

[FW17]

I think it is the cooler for the 2 MGUs

The gear oil is above the airbox

Maybe it's just last Years Spine coolers moved backwards.

Anyways, back on Topic:

Good Quality Pictures of the Front Wing:

The FW cascades are styled like the Mercedes now. The brake ducts are new as well. The rest of the car looks like the Barcelona spec.

The center diffuser flip-ups by the crash structure have metal supports. I'm not sure if anyone else has similar supports?

I could be wrong here, but I tend to think the new sidepod profile signifies the adoption of Ferrari's "winged" cooling configuration...

Looks like you were indeed wrong!

Beyond that, you're a fool for even thinking it in the first place. Just because a change is made to the outside of the car doesn't mean a complementary change was made inside the car. That's some 2 + 2 = 5 bullshit right there.

You must be so lonely talking to yourself, but please ask the second half of yourself not to be so hard on the first half

It looks like the front, lowermost, element of the wing is angled so the trailing edge is lower than the front edge. From my simple aerodynamics understanding, that would seem to me to produce lift and not downforce.

Can someone with more understanding explain this please.
