Mercedes have added a dog-legged turning vane that hangs off the horizontal connector to the sidepod vane.

Over the 8 days of testing in Barcelona is to come more such "innovations", according to Wolff. "Even those that can be seen from the outside," promises chief designer Aldo Costa. The Italians confirmed: "We have taken almost nothing from the old car, the stability in the regulations force you to explore the limit in each area.."

I can'y find the tweet now but Scarbs said they're just part of the crash structure, "no orifice".

If it is the crash structure, which I very much suspect it is, you cannot open it. That crash structure is completely standarized, so no changes on it are allowed. If anything, either it's shadow or Mercedes painted it black.
