Not sure what you’re seeing, but there’s a reasonable possibility they could end up 3 & 4 on the grid once penalties are applied & with PER at sea. I don’t think the choice of wing has to do with running in traffic, rather performance.

Mercedes have brought an upgrade, haven’t they? And beforehand they had said that the major part of it was going to be under the skin.ringo wrote: ↑23 Jul 2022, 14:59The other cars are moving ahead so the relative pacr is still almost a second off.
I suspect the car will still have good deg and race pace compared to the othere.
Itd suprising how little the car is changing compared to the other teams. Makes you wonder what the upgrade will be.
That wasn’t true last race for redbull (they had an enormous rear wing) and this race they went for less DF. I don’t think that “old” adage still is true this season with the ground effect. And Ofcourse wing settings arent the only factor for tire life/heating them up.
I can recall news of the upgrades not being visible - so being under the car. Yet you mention the nose.

Could be cooling related maybe. But surely it wasn't areo.
Neither wing is new. The one on the right is the Miami wing with the modified endplates (making them sharper) and a gurney flap and the left picture is the one they started the season withRZS10 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2022, 14:56Is one of them new?pursue_one's wrote: ↑23 Jul 2022, 14:10different rear wings
