So more drag at high speeds for less effect at slower speeds when you need it (cornering).
That looks like an active wing.
Maybe it is very lightweight and controlled by a computer.
(see the extra strut at the rear to change angle.)

On the fast and strait sections...the flat wing might be in the flat position to reduce drag...or angle upwards slightly to reduce down-force...and air/wheel bearing friction.

On heavy braking it pushes up...and the front end gets maximum grip...regardless of everything else.
