    That’s what won them the Singapore GP; their rear tires held on longer because those fins helped better dissipate heat out of the tire.

    They copied RedBulls "spline" rims that they have been using for 2 yrs (I think). Nothing new really. Mercedes took it to another level. They've used these rims for the past 2 GP's and as @freshmeat put it, they've seemed to rectify their rear tire issues.

    2 different front wings. Look closely at the # winglets. Top winglet closest to the endplate is longer (top).

    The Alfa certainly has a beautiful livery and yes that blue carbon just sets the car off perfectly.
