How does it work?
The air inlet in the front allow air to funnel all the way to the back to the rear wing. When it does that, it will disrupt the downforce to the rear wing and create less downforce, meaning they actually gain an additional 6mph down the straight. The driver open/close the airflow by activating an air valve with his knee. I think folks are bitching because no one thought of it first. FIA deemed it to be legal since the rear wing has no moving parts to change its downforce property.
