The whole wing design is completely new. I think these are the results of the new wind tunnel. There are changes around the chimneys as well as what looks like revised sidepod sheilds and possibly some new turning vanes?

Sidepod sheilds look as if they have been re-inforced. The chimney on the right hand side of the car was a different shape to the one on the left...

I think the wings attached to the front wing are called ears and it seems to me that the chimneys look very renault-sque. But I must say, job well done, but that front wing just has so many contours.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

It also looks like it extends further in front of the tyres with narrower end plates :?

It manages air flow in that area of the car. They almost act like venturi tunnels accelerating air down the sides of the car towards the rear flipups etc.

Complete opposite of Mclaren then.

Must say I hope these updates do work well enough to challenge for podiums!
