Do all the wings work the same way i.e. the centre section changing? I am surprised by how much the wing changes it's profile!

Yup, should all work the same. Slot gap is mandated at 10mm, but can open to 50mm. Doesn't sound like much, but looks a lot when you see it like that. I'm surprised how quick it opens & closes.

Thanks for that, I've not seen that video before.

Cheers for that.

Such a shame they won't be able to use it all the time like that when racing.

Button said it made a hell of a difference when following the Renault down the straight.

As mentioned they'll all work the same way, its mandated to work like that with the pivot at the top so the bottom opens up as a degree of failsafe, in that if the mechanism were to break, the downforce acting on the flap would naturally try to close the flap and default to high downforce configuration. Its not completely failsafe as the hydraulic mechanism could still jam up preventing it closing, but its better than pivoting around the leading edge and dropping the trailing edge.
