Ferrari F1-75 nose detail
A look under the vanity panel on the F1-75’s nose reveals the interior body which sits on the second wing element, meaning that, if it so chooses, Ferrari could choose to alter its interaction between the nose and the front wing.

The W13’s front wing upper flap has been reduced to reduce load and balance it fore and aft with the lower downforce rear wing (you can see where the trailing edge has been reduced around of the Petronas sponsorship logo).

The steering wheel used by George Russell this season is similar in layout, at the rear, to what Lewis Hamilton has used for several years now, with a unique triangle-style clutch paddle layout that incorporates a finger grip to help to modulate the clutch.

A close up of the additional metal support that Mercedes has added to the center section of the car in Canada. This is permitted following the introduction of a new technical directive from the FIA which allows a third support to be used on each side of the car to help reduce porpoising (teams were able to use one near the gearbox). gears for years and a second became allowed before the start of the season).

From the side view we can see how Ferrari prepared and manufactured the wing so specs could be mixed and matched to keep costs down (see the closed lines just above the beam wing and the connecting straps between the two sections).
