Why does the poll equate to 101% rather then 100%?

10%
52%
39%

10 + 52 + 39 = 101%.

Because of rounding, if that's actually 9.66667%, 51.66667% and 38.66667% it all adds up, the values have changed now though, so I can't check it.

Maybe if Ferrari was clearly the fastest car other teams would copy. But the Red Bull has been up the top more than any other. If anyone was to copy another car, it would be a Red Bull.

I personally think the advantages are cleaner flow along the top of the chassis and the ability to use the angle of the pull rods to optimize the side pod inlets downstream.

Notice how exposed the pick-up point (where it contacts the chassis) would be if the camera mounts were removed in the top picture.
This year with the pull rod, both ends of the rod are nicely in the shade of other suspension elements.
In most cases, the majority is below the average.
