The rear diffuser is being constantly developed on all the cars, but due to their positioning and complexity, changes are often difficult to spot.

The engine cover sports a rounded dorsal fin, similar to that on sister team Red Bull's car, and that on the BMW Sauber and Ferrari. It improves the aero effiency of the rear wing, and aero...»
At the last couple of races, Ferrari are understood to have added more ballast to the front of the F2007. Hidden in the splitter section at the bottom (see red arrow), the extra ballast has changed the car's weight distribution slightly to increase its sharpness at the front, perfect for the...»
Having already tested it at Jerez before last week's Japanese Grand Prix, Honda have introduced a heavily-revised front wing in China. It not only features an additional, curved upper profile - similar to the one already introduced by McLaren - but its connecting pillars are now attached to the...»
In China BMW have added a small winglet suspended under the main curved flip-ups in front of the rear wheels, following the fashion introduced by Ferrari few races ago. These elements help in terms of reducing turbulence around the inner edge of the wheels and the rear bodywork close to them. This...»

Sister team Toro Rosso introduced a similar solution in Belgium, following the trend set by McLaren this season. It...»
