Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+

Any updates spotted yet other than the rear wing DRS mechanism?

frontwing

What has changed in it? It looks like the test 2 spec to me? Also I heard rumours from AMUS that they were bringing a Ferrari style wing to trial (not with the intention of running but probably to get some data) - can anyone confirm this?

Anything other than FW? Bottas seems to keep on suggesting quite big improvements for this race so I'm wondering what they'll be putting on the car.

Bottas says improvements coming from data analysis, not from new parts.
Hamilton said no new parts coming for this race

I can spot the new parts, so not sure why they're saying that, maybe because they were planned parts. Either way, small external tweaks for sure.

The front wing looked different in the earlier shots from Melbourne but looking at them, it just looks like two photos showing the top flap in very different positions - one fully wound up, one fully wound down. This made the fixed section next to the endplate look different.

THe DRS actuator has a new cowling design so that, at least, is a "new part".

Apparently some new detail over the side pod too, or so I've heard from others

Looks like the same wing as testing week 2. Upper flap is just higher than we've seen them run it previously, but later photos show it adjusted back to the levels we've seen before.

I took some pictures from the above link and seems to me that:
1. is the 2019 car is from the first test
2. we could clearly see the difference in packaging, mostly from sidepodes area
3. (had I`m not wrong) this year they went even longer with the wheelbase :

Maybe.. but look to this

In the first pic there is the standard front wing from Australia... looks different also in the colors of the flaps near the endplate of the fw. Also.. in this wing there arent the 2 vertical winglets under the main plane near the endplate like in the new one.. u can see it from the same image. Look at the sun under the wing and near the endplate: the vertical winglets are nearer the nose/central part of the wing

These prolonged turning vanes above the sidepod are new?

No, they're part of the update that was brought to the second test.
