McLaren’s front brake duct assembly has two new intakes this season under a series of fins that help direct airflow through the assembly for an aerodynamic gain. It’s a similar arrangement to Mercedes last season, but McLaren has now reversed its brake line shape for a similar effect.

Ferrari tried a new flooring during free practice that included the Z-shaped cutout that some rivals used during the opening stages of the season. The cutout is paired with a new strake while the three fins have been removed halfway up the bottom.

Mercedes made a modification to the diffuser for the second race of the season and changed the shape of one of the vertical stakes (highlighted in green). As you can see, the L-shaped strake has been replaced with a full version.

This is not new, but an interesting detail is the surface treatment in the transition zone of the diffuser on the Mercedes W12.

The Aston Martin AMR21 aerial photo shows how much ground the team cut away to change the angle of the ground. You will also find that the floor is contoured to further create the desired aerodynamic effect.

Aston Martin has a new body with side pods and new wing mirror stems for the AMR21 in Imola to reduce the size of the intakes and improve aerodynamic performance.
