A 'mini skirt' is one of the key benefits behind F1 teams' shift to a downwash concept for their sidepods. Explained:
The change in how air behaves over the top of the sidepod may appear to be quite subtle, which is why teams have long played down the significance of the performance gain from this area of the car.team principal Andrea Stella has explained, the real gains from shifting sidepods are far more to do with how the shape of the sidepods interacts with the rest of the car rather than just what is happening in this area.
"Aerodynamically these wide sidepods help the suction in the floor. So that's the concept that it looks like you can't do without if you want to maximise the suction in the floor and the load on the car. And it's very clear that everyone is converging in that direction.
This continues down the sidepod's surface, helping with the floor edge and having an influence over the rear wheel wake, reducing the influence it can have on the diffuser. As Ferrari's Jock Clear said:"We're not copying anyone, per se, we're looking at what they did, we're going back to our tunnel, and trying to find out if that works.
