| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rear Wing | Circuit specific - Drag Range | Reduce camber upper wing elements The upper wing element camber has been reduced to drop local downforce and drag at a level appropriate for Spa L/D. | |
| 2 | Rear Corner | Performance - Local Load | Rear drum winglets position and span | Rear drum winglets position and span optimised around evolving onset flow and local load requirements – improved robustness through operating envelope. |
| 3 | Front Wing Endplate | Performance - Flow Conditioning | Endplate top edge camber increased | Endplate top edge camber increased to improve front wing performance throughout the operating envelope, improving onset flow to the rear of the car. |

| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rear Wing | Performance - Local Load | Revised pylon profiles | Given the pylons now by regulation contact the mainplane underside, the interface is sensitive and revised with pylon changes to existing element profiles seeking to extract more load and at least maintain flow stability. |

| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rear Corner | Circuit specific - Drag Range | A revised rear brake duct winglet array | To suit the demands of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, we have reduced the loading on the rear corner which offers a local efficiency improvement. |
| 2 | Floor Body | Circuit specific - Drag Range | A local trim has been applied to the main Floor Body | A further circuit specific change, altering the balance between downforce and drag at the rear of the main floor. |
| 3 | Floor Body | Performance - Flow Conditioning | An updated main floor profile which adds volume to the central part of the diffuser. | To change the distribution of diffuser expansion volume across the car operating envelope, a new floor body surface has been introduced. |

| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Coke/Engine Cover | Performance – Flow Conditioning | Updated sidepod & upper bodywork | The profile of the sidepods has been modified to provide better control of the airflow passing around the side of the car. |
| 2 | Roll Hoop | Performance – Flow Conditioning | Revised roll hoop inlet shape | A narrower roll hoop has been introduced, which improves the flow quality reaching the back of the car and on to the rear wing. |
| 3 | Front Corner | Performance – Flow Conditioning | Updated brake drum assembly | Detail changes on the front brake drum management at the front of the car. |
| 4 | Rear Wing | Performance – Local Load | New upper rear wing assembly | A number of changes to the mainplane and flap profiles allow the rear wing to generate downforce more efficiently, bringing performance improvement at Spa and other circuits. |
