The updates (previous versions shown inset) were trialed by both drivers in Friday practice, but used only by Vettel for qualifying and the race. The most obvious difference is the more contoured shape to the top of the sidepods (1). Also new is the middle wing with a small fin (2) beside the cockpit. This is now separate from the vertical ‘boomerang’, which is also different in shape, particularly in its lower section (4). Finally here, the turning vanes have become more complex (3), with two vertical slots.
