Looks like they are having high temperature troubles

Good spot. Though seeing these bubbles form on a changeable piece, I don't think they are in too much trouble.

I thought them raindrups and little puddles, but indeed heat blisters under the stickers.

Williams changed the fin on top of the shark fin to a V shape.

Williams, have surprised me for once. It's just such a departure from their bland cars in recent times. I must salute Paddy for bringing back some real bravery to the design.

Looks like the smaller FW from 2017.

Yes, it is. Probably in those meaningless conditions they didn't want to risk ripping off the new wing leaving them with no replacement.

First flow viz photo of this side pod design I saw for a full year now. Look at how much air is going down and around side pods, it's madness.

[humble sabot]

I agree. That angle of flow though definitely suggests a fair bit of drag. Is this the downward side of the vortex I guess? Seems to match up with a lot of the orientations of other bits.
