Is that some kind of DDRS?

Prove it?

-1st look into rules, what is forbidden or not

Then find:

-trigger mechanism (picture, or some-sort connected relevant theory)
-air path throw all parts up to blowing holes (path from A to B)
-conclusive nozzle position (pic only) near any blowing surface

Until you dont do that, this will be "just" rear wing central support strut witch has DRS hydraulic pipes inside.

And based around my knowledge about older versions of DDRS (2012), DRD (12-13), Fduct tehnology (10) and its rules, theory, and stalling effects are passive drag reduction sys really hard to make it work right. Even more, Ferrari had much more viable potential to spend money on other much more "fruitions" areas of AERO design at the moment .

Thursday is just assembling / Scrutineering. No need to put on the latest Parts. I'm sure they have the New Wing ready.
I just hope you are right...
I think they will put on the new front wing at the end of FP1 or FP2 or use old wing on one car and new wing on another to compare.

I'd say it is the angle. But it suprises me that this design is not deemed illegal. Merc had to change their camera mountings. Anyway, it's not unsafe and doesn't make the car 1sec faster so i wonder why it was deemed illegal on the Merc in first place

Its just the angle, compare it to the position of the upper wishbone.

Front brake ducts look smaller than before and there is a vane ( don't know what to call it) behind the brake duct too. Is that new or was that present on the car in testing.

It may be due to camera angle, but the AOA of the upper flap appears lower in the Australia version. Other changes as well, the strake on the outer edge of the endplate is much steeper, and the position of the endplate slot that feeds air below the main plain is different as well, and there appears to be only one instead of two. Pretty clearly a new rear wing, thought the differences are subtle.

First post for me, hello everybody.

I also believe that they will use the new front wing. Do we have any data that the new one is better than the old one?
On another notice, i LOVE how the new paint looks!
