The bodywork just ahead of the rear wheel is inset in order to accommodate a series of three vortex generators (3) and still stay within the max width regulations. These VGs are designed to route air around the influence of the rear wheel, shooting the subsequent vorticies into the region of the rear cheese wedge (4) so that the air can be better managed inboard and into the base area of the car.
