Beautiful video by Nelson Phillips going over the various rear wing end plate/tip configurations and observations on the swept forwards tips/connecting edges that have become the meta.

Fantastic video, he's gained a subscriber.

Experience with past cars. Where the loads are being generated and how that's affected by the regulations changing.

They can definitely get the balance right with experience, but the initial designs are going to be a handful for the drivers. The biggest challenge will be to prevent the floor from stalling under yaw at lower speeds. The front wing is interesting no flow conditioning on the inside of the wing, very limited outwash. The part that generates downforce creates upwash that will choke the upper surface of the floor opening.

Can you explain why the floor could stall under yaw at lower speeds?
