All of these pics were taken at China, have a look at the highlighted supports.

If you look at the full pics, even when the angles of the car seem similar, the supports do seem to have different angles to them..
LOL - at first I thought I was going crazy, and may well be, but I've looked and looked again.. and they do look like they adjust.. at times you can see a "fold" in the support...

And perhaps they are not perpendicular to the plane of the main wing, so different angles of the photos, different looking supports.Originally posted by ButtonFan

Not necessarily illegal - but perhaps adjustable to play with balance...

Looking at the nose sponsorship you've got pics from at least two different weekends there.Originally posted by rdebourbon

They're all from shanghai - f1live - some could be carried over, or before the MGI vinyl was applied. Definately all shanghai - made sure of that..
Like I said - I thought I was going crazy, so I've checked and re-checked...

LOL
The supports are angled front to back. The top of the support is further forward on the car than the bottom of the support, therefore the optical illusion.

Exactly. Vertical from the front. Angled from the side.

People are awesome
I will admit I saw one picture of the front wing and wondered why the supports seemed to be angled to one way asymmetrically. Then I realized they were actually sweeping back.
That's what you get when a 3D scene is compressed in to two dimensions though
A perfectly still, one eyed person might make the same mistake at a GP
This one is my favourite. Visual perception is really freaky when you look in to it. So much if it is inferred.

Anyone got a pic from a decent angle to show that this is the case?

I am also still trying to get my head around Brawn being half a second faster than everybody else.
The circle optical illusion depends on where you focus your attention. I think you divert more brain power to just one point of focus at any one time. The rest of the scene is processed not from real life but from memory, and your memory get's it wrong which results in the rotating motion.

It's not from memory, it's in real time. A lot of perception that is not in your direct focus is assumed for you by your brain. The act of this pattern moving over your retina is assumed as rotation by your subconscious.

Based on this one, I think its an illusion. The vertical bar is square when oberved from the front, but from the side it is not vertical. So when you view it from any angle but straight on, you will see some of the side profile of the support.
All the smart comments, not sure why because at first look at the pictures it does look a bit funny.
