That might be because the car squats during corner exit.

Not used to seeing radiator ducts on the outlet side:

Watching the race as the welder of these radiators, intakes en plenums etc must be nerve-wrecking...

Technically it squats under acceleration, it just happens that they accelerate out of most corners but not all.

FW flo-viz test.



Bargeboards & sidepod deflector detail.



RW compared to Mercedes. No T-wing, lower AoA mainplane and spoon shaped lower plane.



RW & cooling outlet compared to Ferrari.

Are those 2 cameras on the side of the airbox going to stay after testing?

Those looks like iR cameras monitoring tyre behaviour. They will probably use them during testing and FP's.

Nope. The cameras used in the race are FIA mandated spec parts that every team runs. Every team has the same ones during the race

Was it like this in previous years, I’ve looked back at some 2018 cars and noticed different camera configurations

The t-bar camera is mandated, and others are required in various places with a bit more freedom over the placement. There isn't a requirement to have one on both sides as far as I know, but I think there is either a requirement or allowance for putting a "dummy" on the opposite side to balance out the aero. I think teams use these areas to add other sensors/cameras of their own within the regulations.

Those parcticular cameras probably wouldn't be race legal, although if they are aero neutral, one of them + a mandatory camera on the other side might be?

question, if we look at which areas are painted, does this picture, incl the green on the lower element of the rearwing suggest that something is sending dirty air towards the rearwing? I quess normally with these areas painted you would prefer not to see paint on the rearwing as the air must be pretty dirty or?

So yes, it would look like some of the air flow coming off the front wing/suspension is hitting the mirror and then the rear wing but its quite possible that there was just an incident on the lap like taking to much of a curb and the flowviz from the front wing could of ended up on the rear wing. The team will most likely analysis the laps quite closely to reduce any false positives from the paint.
