That car has all official WRC stickers in windscreen...
Both Monte and Sweden may have snowbanks, so maybe they start using "new" aero after those two.
Maybe? It’s the old front actually. But they tested with the new one for Monte. Maybe because Sweden is colder they don’t need that new larger air inlet?

First of all normally it takes around two years before patent application is granted and published which is way too long for motorsport. And then from my experience in automotive R&D the large companies don't pay for most of the patents. They use them as a lever on another patent holders so that in the end they trade using patents without actually paying something. The downside of that is that they tend to patent nearly everything with very vague description...
