Last year redbull made the diffuser taller by blowing the exhaust down to create a fluid diffuser fence.

As this banned this year, can the same be copensated for by the rear brake ducts being used as fences?

If you see the newly launced w03 the front brake ducts are almost extending to the road

That's a good idea, I don't think they can be low enough however.

good idea!
I was thinking of something similar in recent weeks. my idea is close to yours but not so radical. mine is hidden and easy. I have a question though: assuming the air velocity in the wings instead of the side pods, does not create problems with the air pressure under the car?
I'll explain: if you don't create a specific profile to get downforce, you are likely to reduce the downforce generating the air under the car.
first disturbing the flow.
second creating different levels of air pressure.

i think.
