Too early to say, but it does seem that the new flexible parts rule clarification could have been aimed at their car

Wasn't the Flexi stuff also the front wing/nose?

If you lack downforce then the amount of power you can put down in corners is also impacted, which you can address by changing the map with earlier upshifts.

Checo was complaining about lack of power at the start of the corner he had his spin that then came in late, like they were cutting power.

Otherwise it would be very odd to change the engine map unless they are worried about Ferrari style PU rule breaches and toned it down. They had enough pace to just put on new PUs, take the penalty and still win, so I don't buy the PU is at risk of going.
