Force India VJM10 - ‘Stegosaurus’ engine cover fin

Force India debuted a dramatic-looking aero update for the high-downforce Marina Bay Street Circuit, including a triple-decker T-wing (right-hand arrow) and a series of mini flaps (two left-hand arrows) running along the top of the engine cover fin – dubbed ‘Stegosaurus’ by the Silverstone squad thanks to the resemblance to said dinosaur. This a development never seen before, which creates mini vortices to help better direct airflow to the T-wing and rear wing. After first appearing in Friday practice, it was retained throughout the weekend and may well be seen again at other high-downforce venues such as Mexico.
