Another strange breakdown was

who had to stop for a loose T-camera. The camera connects to the car with two bolts onto an aluminium fixture on the roll hoop, plus the video/data connector.

It seems
#NH27
retired due to an electrical shut down, after gravel triggered the emergency 'E' pull ring. This is a 2 position switch that cuts electrical power on position 1 and sets off extinguisher on position 2.

Williams were late to the SLiM-wing trend in Monaco, but have arrived at the
#BarcelonaGP
with an updated triple wing set up 🐫 Also one detail I've never noticed is a tiny vane next to the cockpit, which was not on the launch car, but has been there all season long!

Audi's new mirrors from Monaco. The reshaped mirror pod now forms a flap, the mounting back to the sidepod is also different.

These fwings are getting interesting fast. The underside have strakes to build rotation into the inwash caused by the wing elements. A raised leading edge is followed by a closing tunnel, increasing the pressure delta under the footplate powering these strakes. This rotation likely merges dstream

Mercedes have changed the rear wing extensions Technically, they're 'rear wing rotation brackets', but will act like wing extensions for more downforce The outer extensions have been repositioned & extended at the centre of the wing, where they will be more effective

Red Bull have retained some elements of the Monaco high downforce rear wing for the
#BarcelonaGP
. The forward SLM pod wing has been kept, as are the V shaped trailing edge extensions. The middle trailing edge extension has been replaced by a V shaped cut out.

Amongst the updates for Ferrari at the

are these add ons to the reshaped m front wing endplate. The outside gains a canard, a small rear vane & a reshaped forward vane. Underneath the stepped inner footplate sees 6 new inwashing vanes.

Major changes to the bodywork around the Audi roll hoop. The side inlets are larger and there's a curious dip on the top surface below the T-camera. No other major changes are evident yet, but may be saved up for Barcelona...

Interesting (not new or unique) cooling panel on McLaren Usually its an open hole in the sidepod with louver/blanking plates added. The MCL40 has louvers moulded in, then blankings added to manage cooling. This might be heavier, but creates a stiffer panel.

Different days, different colour headrest foam. As the confor (memory) foam in the headrest changes with heat, the @FIA regulate different types depending on the ambient temperature. Pink is for cooler conditions up to 30°c, then blue for over 30°c.

Hidden away on the @FIAFormulaE car is the DCDC. There's no alternator, so voltage from the 900v battery is stepped down to 12v 24v 48v. Powering the powertrain pumps, BBW, ECU and general electrical systems. All the 5v sensors are powered by the ECU. @ABBgroupnews
