The Ferrari Formula 1 team has brought a modified, Red Bull-style wing mirror support to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Ferrari’s new rear view mounting strut is very similar to what Red Bull currently uses.
It is now a more horizontal component that will generate a slightly different wake coming off the trailing edge.
You could describe it as more two-dimensional, in that it will have less transverse flow across its upper and lower surfaces.
These rear view mirror mounting struts work with the front suspension members and pull the airflow that is coming off the trailing edge of the front wing downwards over the top of the sidepods.
This improves the flow to the underside of the rear wing.
This also reduces the lift that can very easily be created on the leading edge top surface of the sidepods.
