Sidepod almost completely reshaped. Waterslides gone for the most part for a cleaner airflow at the top, while having a much bigger undercut. Reminds me of RB9 a bit, but with 10 years worth of advancements, bodywork is much tighter. They have also tightened the engine cover and have their own implementation of the Mercedes' "sausages". Not really to the same extent/effect that RBR and Merc have/had it, but similar idea.

Front-wing definitely looks different, but more comparison pics would help to see the difference. Same with the mentioned suspension changes.
Rear-end really seems like it's being treated differently though, especially the part in front of the rear brake ducts.

Can't really tell properly but the front wing seems to still be shaped like the spoon of the main plane.

The complete set is only for Lando, Oscar will only receive parts of the upgrades here, the rest in Imola.

very rb inspired, bigger upper lip, small waterslide starting late, fw is difficult to judge, but seem very similar

I think this is the previous specification. I don't see any changes.

It looks different to me, but more on the elements.

I think the light is making it tricky to see however.

Yes, maybe. A different perspective is required to understand the overall geometry.

[mwillems]

I'm not convinced the watersides have changed I think it's just the shadows are hidden and it looks smooth.

Need some pics from practise.

Right. The undercut under the sidepods has become deeper and extends further along the rear. A very aggressive part of the updates.

Regarding the front suspension. I was able to see a flattening at the upper front control arm. I didn't see any other visible changes.

Nope, waterslides are definitely changed.

Just follow the crease towards the engine cover and see how much steeper it is in the older spec almost immediately after the inlet. That's not the case anymore, the "fall down" only happens at the rear-end.

Reshaped sidepod inlet and top wing element. (both images from the upgraded car)

The upper wing close to sidepod inlet is way bigger than previously

[f1rules]

its completely different

Against the backdrop of all this, a single-element beam wing looks interesting. Here we can really say that it is unloaded and designed to reduce drag.
