i think they are mountings for the double flow conditioners on the top of the diffuser.

Ferrari F138 - A comparison of the 6 vs 7 Tier Front Wings used today

[Ferraripilot]

Ferrari appear to be running less wing angle/rake with this new front wing. Are those new rear brake ducts as well? Impressive bit of CF play in those bits.

Looks like a soft cover over the diffuser/beam wing.

these are like RicerDude wrote only the mountings for the gurney flaps above the diffusor

You can see the same shiny bits here at the gurney above the diffusor:

legal: yes

Definitely, cooling outlets behind the exhaust are much bigger. Also, rear brake durcts seem different, it looks like if a new horizontal element was added in the middle.

So they can manipulate the flap angle? didn't know that, sorry for my ignorance just trying to learn things.

Also, today cooling outlets next to exhausts are wider than before or at least it is an impresion that i have. for the picture above

Alonso just said on Sky that they wont have any major new parts for the final two days of testing and that the Melbourne spec car will only be tested in FP1...

i don't think they can manipulate or adjust the flap angle while the race. maybe in the pits but not while the race, this wouldn't be permitted

Alonso says Ferrari won't have their upgrade package ready for this last test, first time they'll run it in full will be in Oz 1st practice
