We won't hear it from the team if it's good or bad, but it doesn't look like something I'd expect. Too much lateral flow away from the beam wing and towards the gearbox area...

The way to confirm it is if Alfa Romeo bring an update blowing out the engine cover in that area to prevent/dissuade the inwash like RB did at Spa last year.

I never noticed how heavily raked Alfas front upper wishbone was. this actually makes me think that the reason that Red Bull is doing this is aero dynamic in nature, and not related to suspension geometry.

Never noticed that!
Thank you for pointing it out.
So actually, Alfa inspired Ferrari (who went for an 'extreme' version).

Not really, both of those appendages improve the flow above the floor to avoid leading edge separation. Consequently, flow improvements to sidepod inlet is also likely for Sauber's car.
