Nice photo!
Very interesting how they are shaping the outer edge of the diffuser, it almost looks like a bell-mouth (which would be good for airflow); I just need to work out whether that is to allow a sideways flow into the diffuser - potentially taking advantage of tyre squirt turbulence, or allow easier extraction of the tyre squirt turbulence by the rear hub aero detailing?
I wonder what others are doing in that area?
Wheel alignment is important when it comes to aero because the wheels are big and the alignment can change the angle by as much as 25mm at either extreme. The strakes, endplate and outer section of the front wing affect airflow to the tire. Red Bull are the best team at aero because they knew this since 2019.
They made their front wing outboard loaded, the only team to use that configuration since the 2019 front wings were introduced.

Now that they have the rear end sorted, they have a really nicely balanced car.
