Team Lotus updates look promising. Looks like their DDRS is going to finally debut in race form for Spa.
Note the curved monkey seat too below the rear wing. Mercedes has copied this design as well for their own version of the DDRS.
The nose also looks different...there's weird hump on the underside.
The front wing has also been updated.

Mercedes' dupe of the Lotus DDRS to augment their own DDRS, now aptly called the "Triple DRS":
Here it is next to the Lotus'

Ugh...I'm kicking myself over taking Raikkonen/Grosjean/Vettel at the very last minute instead of Raikkonen/Grosjean/Button/Kobayashi in my fantasy lineup.
I don't know if Button's downforce settings will give him a disadvantage though during the race (depends how much of a gap he can build), I still like Kimi's chances though.
