spoilers

The spoilers are moving the separation point back,capturing a locked-vortex in front of,and above,and providing a inpenetrateble(sp?) barrier in which to sequester the lower pressure of the wake behind and below,producing safe amounts of downforce while cutting drag.
If we could inject smoke at the backlight I think we'd see the vortex.(cars with roof only of course).
