Ferrari's lower downforce rear wing offering has a gradual V groove in the central portion of the upper flap's trailing edge, which is also fitted with a Gurney flap. Also note, Ferrari has adopted the unorthodox wingtip joint that we've seen several other teams adopt as of late.

A row of fins is attached to the inner drum of the AMR23's rear brake assembly and help to distribute the airflow as it moves in the void between this drum and the outer one.

A close-up of the AMR23's front brake drum arrangement shows how much of the inlet resides in the jam between the end fence and the drum and will collect air moving between the tyre's sidewall and the fence.

Haas has taken a cost-effective approach to reducing drag on the VF-23 this weekend, as it has taken a significant chunk out of the trailing edge of the rear wing's upper flap.

An overview of the RB19's rear end, including its rear wing selection, which appears to be on the higher downforce end of the spectrum relative to some of their rivals, whilst we're also able to see some of the inboard suspension elements, owing to the removal of the engine cover bodywork.
