A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

But the Lotus Upgrade is not Monza Specific. It's just a delayed Spa Package.

What is new, small adjustments for the circuit? I can't see any major revamps.

just looks like a cascadeless spa front wing and rear wing from spa but with no slot in the endplate, maybe the main plane on the rear wing is angled up a bit more that it was in spa too.

It looks like they painted on a coating where the coanda exhausts go onto the carbon fibre. Wonder if this is heat shielding to protect the carbon
