Is it me or the front of the halo has been "sharpened" up?
For reference here is a pic from Australia:

If I recall correctly, the halo is supplied by a third party, so it's unlikely something has changed.

The structural part of the halo yes, common supplier.
They do have an area of development around the halo (I remember something like 2") where they are free to add all sorts of winglets or shapes.

I do not see any mention to the floor itself. Did I miss it?

Floor edge and diffuser are mentioned, teams are probably asked by FOM/FIA to separate these details by floor sections for clarity. Other small visible changes are often omitted, since teams don't want to reveal such things to competition.

That is true, but I recall seeing other teams mentioning “floor” directly if I am not mistaken. I would assume that some changes were made, considering the big changes everywhere else. Obviously it is very difficult to verify floor changes from normal pictures…

Reminds me a little of a bargeboard

My initial reaction seeing that new cut, and the relatively small connector in between, is that it's aiming to introduce flex in the floor.

To what extent is the floor around that cut now going to be flexing?

Is it the angle or is Ferrari's keel way further forward than Mclaren or Red Bull?

There is this from February:

Interesting catch.. but for that to happen, they would have to change the Gearbox. Obviously they haven't done that. So I think it's the angle of the pic.

From the pics, Ferrari has the smallest 'bottom' and RedBull the 'biggest' , with McLaren somewhere in between ?
Doesn't this influence the amount of lateral expansion and hence the amount of suction by the diffuser from the tunnel ?

The Redbull and Mclaren keel slope inward, effectively creating surface areas either side of the gearbox to be acted upon by airflow.

Camera focal length is different for Ferrari photo compared to other cars on zioture's post, yours is better

Both great points. It does look like some sort of lensing issue.

It would be great if some detailed version of the three floors were available (Mclaren miami and RBR Imola) to compare for some guess work fluids, to see if the underfloor design is converged or if they are still some novel approaches.
