Slick packaging, considering that they still have the front suspension arms as high as possible (to allow the Y250 vortex to get as strong as possible & maximize airflow to the bargeboard area), you need to take that into account!
... Also, Ferrari-style front wing?

It's the FW they had at the end of last year which dips a touch near the endplate.
