No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Rear Wing Performance - Flow Conditioning Endplate modification A small revision to the rear wing endplate resulting in improved flow conditioning and aerodynamic characteristics across the full operating range.
2 Floor Body Performance – Local Load New floor and board A new floor and board featuring a modified base shape and furniture, resulting in an improvement in flow conditioning and local load generated across all conditions.
3 Front Corner Performance - Flow Conditioning Revised Front Corner Furniture A small modification to the front corner furniture resulting in an improvement in flow conditioning around the front tyre and resultant aerodynamic performance.
4 Front Corner Circuit specific - Cooling Range Increased Brake Cooling Exit To meet the increased brake cooling demands of this circuit, a larger front brake cooling exit has been designed aiming at minimising the detrimental impact on aerodynamic performance.
5 Rear Corner Performance – Local Load Revised Rear Corner Furniture An update to the rear corner furniture, featuring a revised winglet arrangement aiming at an efficient increase of aerodynamic load.

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Rear Wing Circuit specific - Drag Range Additional rear wing winglet added on centreline The new winglet increases local wing chord and camber increasing local downforce and drag at a ratio appropriate for Budapest L/D.
2 Coke/Engine Cover Cooling Range Wider bodywork rear exit Increased exit size to achieve adequate mass flow through the sidepods to ensure we have adequate cooling for this track.
3 Tail Performance - Local Load Tail winglet merged into rear wing brace. Running the tail winglet into the rear wing brace increases local downforce and drag at a ratio appropriate for Budapest L/D.

No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Rear Wing Performance - Local Load Revised pylon profiles By exploiting the permitted rear wing pylon geometry, the camber of the pylons has been increased to extract a little more load and maintain, even enhance the flow stability.
2 Floor Performance - Local Load Revised diffuser geometry Having observed some competitor designs, the floor diffuser geometry has gained surface area adjacent to the rear impact structure offering a local gain in load.
3 Rear Wing Performance - Local Load Revised flap element geometry Following iterations of the rear wing design, a revised flap pairing has become available for the Hungarian GP offering more load from revised camber and chord geometries. This change is accompanied by a minor revised to the lower brace (wing) geometry as part of the new design.

SCUDERIA FERRARI HP

No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Rear Wing Performance - Local Load New flaps design with additional trailing edge devices, re-shaped endplate top inboard volume, new pillars. Also, an optional winglet cascade in the SM fairing volume will be available Part of the standard development cycle, this further iteration of rear wing has been focused on increasing load in a robust way. The additional
2 Rear Wing Endplate winglet cascade is meant to increase rear downforce at the expense of aerodynamic efficiency, and is optional.

Williams

No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Rear Wing Circuit specific - Drag Range A new RW assembly configuration, with a change to the rear wing flap components. To suit the demands of the Hungaroring circuit, we have introduced an optional rear wing flap geometry which offers an increase in downforce across the rear of the car.
2 Floor Body Circuit specific - Drag Range A new Floor Bodywork configuration with the introduction of new geometry on the outboard Floor Winglet. A further circuit specific change, which modifies the aerodynamic loading on the outboard floor body the car.

No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Roll Hoop Performance – Flow Conditioning Addition of Roll Hoop Winglets The roll hoop introduced at the previous event creates additional freedom in that area. These winglets improve the quality of the airflow reaching the rear of the car.
2 Rear Wing Performance – Local Load Updated SM pod geometry and wing auxiliary components A combination of changes to the SM pod and to the to be generated by the rear wing, which is well suited to the circuit characteristics.
3 Cooling Louvres Circuit specific - Cooling Range Additional options of bodywork cooling louvres Opening the louvres on the bodywork allows more airflow through the radiators, increasing engine cooling and thus increasing the range of operating conditions.

Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team

No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
1 Front Wing Performance - Local Load Revised front view and planview with chord redistribution. The front wing, endplate and nose are a package to improve the performance of the front end of the car in combination with the other car updates.
2 Front Wing Endplate Performance - Local Load Updated body, diveplane and foot.
3 Nose Performance - Local Load Longer, thinner nose.
4 Front Corner Performance - Local Load Revised lip and longer rear deflector. The new front brake duct external elements work alongside the new front wing to manage flow around the front wheels.
5 Floor Body Performance - Local Load Changes to all of the permitted surfaces of the floor. All floor changes are developed as a package to increase the load on the floor and therefore improve the car performance.
6 Floor Fences Performance - Local Load Updated floor leading edge vanes.
7 Floor Edge Performance - Local Load The foot/board and the area in front of the rear tyre have been modified.
8 Diffuser Performance - Local Load Changes to the main diffuser, fences and winglet.
No. Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences Description
9 Sidepod Inlet Performance - Local Load Inlet shape revised in line with the bodywork package. The bodywork package has evolved to improve the feed to the rear of the car and complement the changes to the floor geometry.
10 Coke/Engine Cover Performance - Local Load Relative subtle changes to the shape of the bodywork
11 Cooling Louvres Performance - Local Load Conceptually similar cooling panels. The louvres provide the usual range of options to allow the setup of the cooling system for optimum performance depending on conditions.
12 Rear Suspension Performance - Local Load Small changes to the leg positions and external fairings. The rear suspension and rear brake ducts modifications were developed with each other and the changes to the rear of the floor.
13 Rear Corner Performance - Local Load Subtle changes to the inlet, exit and vanes.
14 Rear Wing Performance - Local Load Chord is redistributed between the three elements, winglets added to the TE of the flap. The three components of the rear wing increase CM load while reducing SM drag, and are aligned with other changes to the rear of the car.
15 Beam Wing Performance - Local Load Change in twist distribution of the rear wing brace.
16 Rear Wing Endplate Performance - Local Load All the surfaces have been revised.
