A top-down overview of the McLaren MCL35M’s bargeboard cluster shows how it has numerous slots in the surfaces in order they mirror one another and maintain legality. Also note the use of metal inserts to help retain the integrity of the assembly.

Top-down overview of the Red Bull RB16B’s bargeboard cluster, with the slots within the boomerang wings clearly visible. The main vertical element is also clearly broken down into numerous segments too. Also note the varied length and width of the strakes poking out from the leading edge of the floor.

The floor area ahead of the rear tyre on the Mercedes W12 has remained largely unchanged this season, as it started out with some pretty mature solutions as part of the regulatory overhaul. Note the upturned edge (arrowed) to help encourage the airflow's direction too.

Close up of the Alfa Romeo C41 – note the extremely thin upper flap which has been cut back to trim downforce levels. The flap tip is almost non-existent now as a consequence of the changes.

A look at the Alpine A521’s rear end as Alonso returns to the garage after a brush with one of the barriers. Note the gentle drooping of the diffuser in the outboard section, rather than it taking up the maximum section allowed.
