Williams were late to the SLiM-wing trend in Monaco, but have arrived at the #BarcelonaGP with an updated triple wing set up 🐫
Also one detail I've never noticed is a tiny vane next to the cockpit, which was not on the launch car, but has been there all season long!

Further updates to the 'new' Mclaren front wing being tested by #OP81.
Mcl say "The front wing endplate has been modified, resulting in an improvement of aerodynamic flow conditioning and subsequently enhanced aerodynamic overall performance"

Audi's new mirrors from Monaco. The reshaped mirror pod now forms a flap, the mounting back to the sidepod is also different. #GB5 is running red dots on the left mirror to monitor any movement via a camera.

Ferrari have reshaped the sidepods, which are 'inflated' at the shoulder and coke bottle. Bulkier sidepods push the front tyre wake away from the car.

Red Bull are another team that have gone to much bulkier side pods as the season has progressed.
From the super narrow versions initially tested, which required tightly packaged radiators, there's now a large blanking plate between the rads & bodywork.

Mercedes have changed the rear wing extensions
Technically, they're 'rear wing rotation brackets', but will act like wing extensions for more downforce
The outer extensions have been repositioned & extended at the centre of the wing, where they will be more effective

Red Bull have retained some elements of the Monaco high downforce rear wing for the #BarcelonaGP.
The forward SLM pod wing has been kept, as are the V shaped trailing edge extensions. The middle trailing edge extension has been replaced by a V shaped cut out.

Amongst the updates for Ferrari at the #BarcelonaGP are these add ons to the reshaped m front wing endplate.
The outside gains a canard, a small rear vane & a reshaped forward vane.
Underneath the stepped inner footplate sees 6 new inwashing vanes.
