Excellent views of the Red Bull F1 cars. Looking at the pictures I wonder on a lot of them "what the hell am I looking at?"

Does your front wing look like this?
Millions of dollars on computational flow dynamics (CFD), thousands of hours in the wind tunnel, and we still validate with on-track testing. The white object is measuring the airflow over the rear diffuser.
And on track testing with flow visualization paint.

Because there is a difference between the air flow in a straight line and around the curve.

Look at the inclination of the pitot rake.
The air stream is moving up at quite an angle.
