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.

That would explain why it came off during the race. Hamilton had an off track excursion over the weekend didn't he?

I cant remember him doing so, can only remember Bottas having a couple of moments.
I'm probably wrong though

Ham ran over the kerb at T1 on his first run of Q3 that lost him 5 tenths in sector 1.

Possible that the shock damaged the thin metal mounting arm.of that part of the floor and they needed to repair it.

EDIT:
The red arrow item wasn't new for Australia, it was run in the second preseason test but wasn't initially fitted to the car.

Well it can certainly make flanking maneuvers.

Not sure what they mean by "mini-cape" at the connection.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

The neutral section extends slightly further outboard than it needs to, so it partially extends under the non-neutral section. As highlighted by white arrow.

Very concise and accurate description. Can see exactly what you're referring to now. Thank you.

I don't think it does, to be honest. From these two views, it looks like the end of the neutral section is fairly vertical, not projecting out like the cape. It makes no sense to extend the bottom face of the neutral section - you want the air to flow around the edge because that's what creates the Y250 vortex. Extending a cape out from the lower edge doesn't seem to do much.

We need a better, closer, view of the area.
