If I remember right, there was discussion that RB kick is not in the spirit of the current regulations.
Not really against any spirit, it just looks to me like they wanted to emulate having a separate diffuser and generating some high local load with that kick there. Also, that peak load likely enhances the diffuser vortex, since the pressure difference is increased

Ferrari is still doing it as they started and won't change it with 18 months left in this reg cycle

Imola beam wing looks like higher load to me, if i am going by what was posted.
It really does look like that, yet it's not used in Monaco. The overall floor downforce boost must be offsetting this loss even at the cost of extra drag

Can't find/link posts currently but I hope someone can help illuminate something, I feel (not something backed up by evidence
) that early versions of the high df wings (~2022) had almost vertical DRS flaps, compared to now which seems comparatively backed off?
Am I imagining things?
Nah, the biggest difference is the span of the high-AoA central section.
