Yes, it's similar that the difference between central loading and the tip is a discrete drop, but overall when you compare to Monaco and Hungary SF24 specs, you'll see it has more frontal area, thus bigger angle. When proper photos for comparison come up we will see

Back to our regularly scheduled Leclerc domination of Sainz in qualifying, as is tradition when the car balance shifts forward.

There is no scenario where any driver would want to induce understeer mid corner, except to counteract snap oversteer. Understeer is especially hurtful on a long radius corner that you take as an example here.venkyhere wrote: ↑20 Sep 2024, 07:23I believe the prime benefit of flexi front wings is not 'reduced drag'. Reduced drag in a straight line at high speed, is a secondary benefit that. The prime benefit, according to me is in high speed corners. The FW flexes, reduce the front downforce, shifts the center of pressure rearwards in the car "automatically" and introduces understeer. That's what the driver wants in a long radius high speed corner. In slower corners, no FW flex, high downforce in the nose => helps rotate the car faster. This 'dynamic balance change to suit different types of corners' is the real benefit of a flexi FW.
That's not fibre direction, what you see as grey and black is twill reflection. Fibres are actually under slightly different angles on 4th flaps, while 3rd flap is almost the sameamr wrote: ↑20 Sep 2024, 14:04Interesting pictures here
In the first picture (supposedly new on the stand) - the top flap has the carbon fibres arranged horizontally and the second one vertically
In the second picture (old) - both top flaps have the carbon fibres arranged horizontally
In the last picture (supposedly new but on track) - both top flaps have the carbon fibres arranged vertically.
I guess they are really trying things out to achieve the flexibility they need.
