Basically you have to pixel peep to notice any difference. Some of the articles made it seem as if this was significant by labeling a "completely revised floor". From what we can see, this is definitely not a completely revised floor, but they have hinted towards more things coming for Brazil.

McLaren described it as such.

"Floor Body Performance -
Local Load Revised Floor
The floor design has been heavily revised, with
geometric changes in all areas, resulting in an
increase of aerodynamic load across all conditions."

With how they circled it in the document, it's possible the changes are all underneath the car and thus not really visible on photos.

Mexico's air pressure is going to reduce the benefit of any aero device. The wings can be made bigger, but the floor is just going to be less effective by a large margin because there is little more that can be done with it.

Consider that at Mexico, they use the big wings and yet it is considered Monza level downforce where the skinniest of skinny wings run. Downforce levels at Mexico are 25% less than what you would get elsewhere and we do not know yet if when we get to a more normal air density the gains from the change will be linear (25% greater than reported in Mexico in line with air density changes) or if the gains will increase exponentially.
