Wingtips, the quickest change
Winglets were first used by Nigel Lamb back in 2010, now most teams have them...
Everyone has their take on what works. Ben Murphy has the winglet going down...

Tape. Tape solves everything - this is used to reduce drag over the surfaces that aren't as smooth as they should be
