Other details on the @MercedesAMGF1 #W14 the front wing endplate.
For 2022 the endplate was made larger and straighter to reduce the outwash turbulence it created for the car behind.
So Merc created a cutout to create outwash, but this was banned over the winter.

To be legal, the wing tips must meet the endplate in a specific orientation. Merc have done this with small legality parts connecting the two, as well as adding an extra fin.
Which all allows the large cut out.

To the left is what the FIA envisage for this area, to the right is the big hole Merc have effectively created.
Allowing more airflow to pass down and outwards thru the cutout.
