A lot of things are being put under the "deployment issue" umbrella, and it's unsurprising that not everyone understands how complicated the power demand rules are. This isn't an "issue" in the usual sense of the word, but rather oddities in the regulations being exposed by the near 50/50 power split. Sometimes, the way the driver uses the throttle pedal induces "deployment issues." We already saw what happened when a moment that usually proves inconsequential ruined Leclerc's SQ3 lap in China. In this case, Hadjar, who is lifting through 130R to manage tyres, is affected by the quirks of the power demand rules. The MGU-K must give at least 200 kW of electrical power for 1 second when he goes from lifting to beyond 98% throttle. Throttle position >98% is defined as the power-limited pending period. What accentuates the issues for Isack here, is that from 130R to Casio Triangle - where cars typically harvest when not attacking - instead of recovering energy, it spends an extra couple seconds deploying it. He is left completely exposed on the subsequent straight because it used energy when it was supposed to recover it. It's easy to fix in this case. Don't lift on the next laps. Where it becomes tricky is when the driver uses the throttle in a way that doesn't necessarily help the "issue" due to their driving habits, or trying to push a little harder at some points. It's precisely this thats frustrating so many drivers. Because they don't really know they're doing something "wrong." The reason its become such a prominent aspect is because of the need to have 100% optimal deployment all the time, the product of a 50/50 power split.

Ferrari has introduced a new rear wing specification where the SLM actuators are positioned within the end plates. No actuator/pod positioned where you'd typically expect it to be. Whether it is supposed to invert the flaps as it is, is unclear at the moment. They've been in the garage for the bigger part of an hour with the screens up.

Looked at the SF-25 and sighed. Might be the most compliant car I have ever seen in my life. There is no pushing or snapping in the combined traction zones, it simply does whatever the driver demands from it. Floats through 1-9-10 like it's a Sunday drive. The ease at which they unwind steering lock with no need to wrestle the car as I see with many other cars. What McLaren have achieved with the MCL39 is truly astonishing. All in an era with notoriously difficult and temperamental cars. What an accomplishment.

This cropped view makes it much more obvious, especially if you don't know what we are looking for. It is there and it is undeniable. Intentional or not, this is providing and advantage. This is what I like to call “passive active aero” moveable surface that are designed to move without manual input or a computerized activation system.
