Thursday

Ferrari SF15-T front wing from above, same low downforce configuration as used in Belgium, with the triangular upper flap

Ferrari SF15-T rear end detail, note lower downforce rear wing with shallower AoA and lower DRS actuator pod

McLaren MP4-30 front suspension and brake duct detail

McLaren MP4-30 low downforce rear wing, note how short the upper flap is, whilst the usual application of a gurney trim is also absent.

McLaren MP4-30 steering wheel detail

McLaren MP4-30 underside of the front wing shows how the strakes are used to control separation

McLaren MP4-30 pit stop practice, the team use the old longer nose, rather than damage a new one

McLaren MP4-30 floor detail, note the intricate slotted arrangement ahead of the rear wheel designed to control 'tyre squirt'

Mercedes W06 rear end detail, note this is a lower downforce configuration version of the 'spoon' rear wing, featuring a less pronounced central belly.

Mercedes W06 floor detail

Sauber C34 front wing selection, upper is the newer variant, still un-raced since its arrival in China. The endplate, endplate canard and cascade arrangement are all different in their approach

Sauber C34 front wing selection, upper is the newer variant, still un-raced since its arrival in China. Note the difference in flap design, the upper (newer) variant much closer to the leading teams in terms of design, which undoubtedly changes how both the Y250 vortex is formed and how the wing creates downforce.

Manor F1 MR03B front wing

Mercedes W06 front wing, note the short chord upper flaps, which have been cut down by the team to reduce drag and change how the Y250 vortex forms

Mercedes W06 rear end detail, note the shallower 'spoon' rear wing, also worth noting that at this stage of the build the team had yet to install the exhaust pipework

Williams FW37 rear wing, note the low angle of attack and almost twisted upper flap (in the centre) the flap has also been cut down, changing the way the airflow interacts with the endplates and the way in which tip vortices are formed

Mercedes W06 - another angle of the shallower 'spoon' rear wing

Ferrari SF15-T - Another angle of the lower downforce rear wing, note the use of only 3 louvres in the endplate to match the lower angle of incidence of the flaps

Toro Rosso STR10 low downforce rear wing, which has only a single endplate louvre to match the very shallow AoA of the flaps

Mercedes W06 floor detail

Red Bull RB11 rear wing, note how the leading edge has been swept back at the corners, changing how downforce is accrued and the shaping of the tip vortices

Friday

Ferrari SF15-T with flo-viz applied to the rear wing to check it is operating as required

Red Bull RB11 - Flo-viz applied to the underside of the nose and front wing mounting pylons

Mercedes W06 - GoPro camera's mounted either side of the driver, looking down toward the tyres and assessing how the changes in settings by Pirelli affect performance

Lotus E23 using a Kiel probe array (wrapped around the front wheel) to measure how the airflow has been changed around the front wheel. As they continue to assess their front wing and/or the changes imposed by Pirelli at Monza
