@f1newslive_ Much of the vortex along the side is from the new spec brake duct deflectors. Theres little the teams can do to alter this flow structure
Teams are given volume in which to fit a scoop and rear lip.
The front its limited to just a scoop for cooling.
The rear has an allowance for upwashing fins.
Remember all brake cooling air must go in and out of the scoop. None out through the wheel. Also blown hubs are banned
The drum and deflectors are prescribed in their design, teams can make minimal changes to their basic shape.
The front has a large deflector, this both cleans up the tyre wake and it prevents inwash when in turbulence
In 22 the disc is well away from the wheel, also the drum is larger. This is because all braking air in & out must exit via the inside of the wheel. Hot air out must go through the rear facing side of the scoop. This will reduce heat transfer into the wheel & is far less tunable
Larger discs run cooler and will produce more torque.
But, the cars are heavier & faster on the straights.
So, its arguable if there'll be any noticable change in braking performance
