Mercedes W08 T-wing 3 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola The T-wing introduced for the pre-season test has already been cast aside with an additional shorter-chord third element added atop the device (white arrow) while the lower edge has now been curved (red arrow).

Williams FW40 front wing 5 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola New triangular vanes now sit astride the endplate (red arrows), while a wide canard sits in behind the main cascade (white arrow).

Red Bull RB13 front brake detail 6 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola The brake disc now has five drilled holes in chevron pattern across face to dissipate heat. This design was previously reserved only for Ferrari but discs are 32mm wide in 2017 rather than 28mm.

Ferrari SF70H brake detail 7 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola Ferrari has gone one step further with their drilling arrangement for 2017 to aid cooling, the Italian team opting for six holes.

Renault RS17 bulkhead detail 8 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola Note the high position of the suspension rockers.

Haas VF17 bulkhead and front suspension detail 9 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola The team has cut away the upper section of the bulkhead, much like Mercedes did in 2016, maximizing room for suspension componentry such as a hydraulic heave element.

Ferrari SF70H sidepod inlet 10 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola Some sidepod detail is exposed here as the bodywork used to obfuscate the inlet is removed during buildup. The upper inlet is surrounded by the bodywork (white arrow) and another internal flow conditioning element is placed ahead of the inlet (black arrow).

Ferrari SF70H front wing detail 12 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola The turning vanes start much earlier up the side of the nose, allowing the air to navigate inside sooner.

Ferrari SF70H sidepod detail 14 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola The complexity of the SF70H's sidepods is captured in this image. Note the upper inlet, which is easy to spot due to the unpainted checkerboard (spread tow) carbon fibre section.

Ferrari SF70H wing mirror 15 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola Ferrari has introduced new wing mirror stalks in Melbourne - rather than being vertical stalks, they now arch over, displacing the mirrors to a more outboard position.

Sauber C36 front wing 16 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola Sauber has a new front wing for Melbourne, which features a new aggressively out-turned 'r' shaped vane protruding from the penultimate flap, in order to shape the flow of air around the front tyre.

Ferrari SF70H diffuser wing 17 / 18 Photo by: Giorgio Piola The winglet stack (white arrow) is even more complex this year, while the gurney (white arrow) now has a number of additional surfaces added to it.
