No.	Updated component	Primary reason for update	Geometric differences	Description
1	Front Wing	Performance - Flow Conditioning	Change in flap twist distribution	Change in flap spanwise twist, reduces front wing wake which improves flow to the rear of the car and rear downforce.
2	Front Suspension	Performance - Flow Conditioning	Re-profiled upper wishbone fairing.	Re-profiling has improved the attachment of the rear leg through an increased operating range, improving flow to the rear of the car.
3	Floor Edge	Performance - Local Load	Additional vane element added to floor edge wing.	Additional vane element increases mass flow under forward floor, increasing vorticity shed from the fence system, increasing floor load.
4	Sidepod Inlet	Circuit specific - Cooling Range	Lower lip of sidepod inlet moved rearwards.	Lower lip geometry change has improved the flow alignment through a increased range of operating conditions and cooling levels - ultimately improving engine cooling.
5	Coke/Engine Cover	Circuit specific - Cooling Range	Additional cooling exits local to rear suspension legs	Additional cooling exit added local to rear suspension to increase sidepod mass flow whilst minimising wing.
6	Floor Fences	Performance - Flow Conditioning	Reprofiled inboard fence	New fence profile has improved local pressure distribution and position of vorticity, improving both local and downstream load through better onset flow.
