F1 Rear Wing Vortices
F1 rear spoon wing explained.
F1 rear wing vortices. As the spoon wing reduces the geometric angle of attack towards the tips it changes the spanwise wing tip to wing tip. These thin white streams are nothing but vortices of air produced when the rear wing generates downforce. These are the vapour trails seen on damps days curling from the wing tips.

In the current guise of the f1 technical regulations the greenyellow vortex stays more on the inside and raises significantly higher above the wing while the redblue one will be pushed further outside and lower following the edge of the endplate.
