In a bid for an upturn in fortunes, Toro Rosso have removed the vertical strakes from the rear wing endplates. This will obviously mean a decrease in drag, but will also affect the rear grip available to the drivers, as the strakes interact with the diffuser to produce more downforce. It’s a risk worth taking on the drag dependent Italian circuit.
The slight endplate change is one of only a few tweaks made by the Red Bull sister team, another being a minor reduction on their front wing top element, stripping it down to improve straight line speed. The new element (bottom wing in the photo, inset) has been cut down to the 'B' of their signature sponsor, making it very clear the changes they've made.
