Same as COTA for MCL, FER and MERC. Red bull the stickers don't align the same, the main plane looks slightly different, or maybe it's the camera angle? hard to say.

Redbull definitely more loaded wing - Mainplane looks same as Austin, but the flap is more 'upright' (clue: edge elements) and it's bigger than the Austin flap (compare the frontal area 'share' of mainplane v/s flap).

I don't know why Mclaren is going for a rearwing like that. I thought they would've went with the full barndoor Monaco spec.

Different. Redbull wing is more loaded.

The mainplane for Red Bull seems deeper. You can hardly see the lettering on the COTA spec, but it's more visible in the Mexico spec. It could be an optical illusion.

The graphics guy employed by F1tv has been getting it wrong for two races in a row (labelling of red and blue are wrongly swapped)

Look at the sides (upright) of the RB wing. Very different.

Indeed. Also the flap is different behind the drs (notch vs no notch). It's a different downforce level. I imagine red bull is running higher wing this weekend than COTA.

an German Sky, Vowles just said that it's no coincidence that the Ferrari powered cars looked good in FP1 while the Mercedes ones were a bit further behind. The high altitude wouldn't suit the Mercedes as much.
