8 Mar · 4 upgrades
Additional configurations of cooling louvres, with increased & decreased openings.
Opening or closing the louvres in the bodywork allows the cooling level for the engine to be tuned to the circuit conditions.
Updated keel, floor leading edge devices, and rear floor.
The updated forward floor components improve the flow quality under the floor, allowing the floor to generate more downforce.
The geometry of the winglets on the rear corner has been updated.
Additional downforce is generated on the rear corner by the winglets around the suspension, at an efficiency suitable for the circuit characteristics.
The top deck of the engine cover has been reshaped.
Airflow to the rear of the car is improved by modifying the flowfield around the bodywork, allowing the rear wing to work more effectively.

Profile modification to brake duct winglets.
The winglet geometry change helps improve the flow management at the back of the car and around the rear tyre.

New mainplane & flap aerofoil profiles
Downforce generated by the rear wing is increased through camber & incidence changes, at an efficient level for the circuit.
Revised slot geometry around the rearward floor edge. The updated floor geometry helps provide cleaner flow around the tyre contact patch, which leads to an overall increase in floor performance.
Additional option of flap profile available.
To effectively cover the balance requirements for Miami, a shorter chord flap allows a lower aero balance range to be run.
Camber distribution changes across endplate.
This endplate works in conjunction with the changes to the rear wing to enhance the airflow between them, allowing the rear wing work effectively.
Aero profile geometry changes to suit the rear corner update.
The profile changes on the suspension legs work together with the changes made to the brake duct winglets, to manage flow around the tyre.
Profile modification to brake duct furniture.
The winglet geometry changes help improve the flow management at the back of the car and around the rear tyre.
24 May · 4 upgrades
New Main Floor geometry A new floor geometry resulting in an efficient downforce increase generated by the underbody of the car, across a range of operating conditions.
Reprofiled Rear Corner devices Working in conjunction with the floor update, the changes to the rear corner devices improve the flow management at the back of the car.
Profile and incidence modifications Supporting the changes made to the floor and around the exhaust, the Beam Wing changes help extract additional load from the rear wing assembly.
Reprofiled tailpipe bracket The tailpipe bracket update improves the flow management around the centreline of the car as part of the surrounding changes on the Beam Wing and floor.

Clearance modifications on suspension legs The tight corners of Monaco require increased steering range compared to other circuits.
These modifications to the suspension allow for additional steer travel whilst minimising any detrimental effect on the aerodynamics.
New flap, and new winglet on SM Pod Both the new flap & the central winglet generate additional downforce compared to the previous specification, particularly suited for the high- downforce nature of Monaco.
14 Jun · 2 upgrades
Updated diffuser profile & integration with rear crash structure
Provides improved aerodynamic flow conditioning at the back of the car, to aid with efficient load generation from the floor.
Extra flap gurney options available Additional front wing load is generated by adding Gurney flaps to the trailing edge.
This provides extended balance range for the car for setup optimisation during the weekend.

Lowered tailpipe with new bracket The tailpipe position helps with the flow management around the rear of the car, allowing the rear wing to perform efficiently.
Revised diffuser trailing edge devices Further refinement of the diffuser trailing edge devices, providing improved aerodynamic flow conditioning at the back of the car.
5 Jul · 2 upgrades
Updated floor corner & diffuser geometry The combined updates optimise the flow around the rear floor, allowing it to generate more load and provide increased performance.
New forward deflector geometry
In combination with the above, the new deflector targets an improvement in local flow conditioning and improved floor performance.
19 Jul · 4 upgrades
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.
Updated brake drum assembly Detail changes on the front brake drum components bring improvements in air flow management at the front of the car.
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.
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.
26 Jul · 3 upgrades · 14 PU
Updated SM pod geometry and wing auxiliary components A combination of changes to the SM pod and to the flaps & auxiliary components allows additional load to be generated by the rear wing, which is well suited to the circuit characteristics.
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.
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.

New assembly with updated SM mechanism.
The rear wing changes facilitate increased flap travel in Straight Mode. This allows an efficient drag reduction which suits the nature of the circuit.
Repositioned tailpipe with reprofiled bracket The tailpipe updates improve the flow management around the centreline of the car, allowing the floor and rear wing to perform more efficiently.
