That looks worse than the Renault engine cover! However I hope it keeps the competition between McLaren and Ferrari even. Fingers crossed for a down to the wire championship again!

Force India say it cleans uo te air flow from around the air box, back to the rear wing. Red Bull also say it helps with stability under braking.

It cleans up the air flow from the air box to the rear wing, but the biggest advantage it provides is more space for sponcers.
