A higher and slightly longer nose than last year. The new car is said to have a step, which has been covered with a piece of carbon fibre.

The driver's position has moved back a few centimetres and the cockpit has a larger cross-section.

The side pods have gone from being almost perfectly rectangular last season to extremely sharp this season. They were already modified half-way through 2012.

The end of the engine cover is higher and more rounded. This may be to leave space for a passive double DRS which almost all of the leading teams are studying.

The biggest novelty of the MP4-28 is the pull-rod front suspension, which copies the idea introduced by Ferrari last year. It improves aerodynamics and steering under low-grip conditions. This time Woking is copying Maranello.
