Now...... I’m not an expert in aerodynamics but I have enough of a hobby related  interest in it to feel confident saying that is NOT how it works.

I mean, presumably it’s supposed to be a spoiler rather than a wing, breaking up airflow over the hatch instead of generating down force? Whether it actually does that is a whole other question...

Regardless:

I mean technically the airflow should follow over the body, which means that little hatch wing should create downforce.

Even if it doesn’t, I think mid wings like that look great, so who cares.
