Aldo Costa, Technical Director of Mercedes F1, has commented that the T wing is just one of the experiments to get control of the wake.
It fits within the regulations for the shark fin, even though it is not very fin-like.
But they will run most test without it trying out different concepts including 'a longer car'!

Ferrari presented their car today with a full shark fin with winglets like these at the end tip... The 2017 cars look spectacular, but I hope these weird winglets get banned.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
