Ferrari will trial a 2019-style front wing, similar in overall design to its current specification but devoid of the cascade and endplate furniture, while the endplate itself is also simplified. This will give the team some real-world data to work with and feed back into their design considerations for next season.

This shot not only shows us the one-off livery to be used by Fernando Alonso in Abu Dhabi but also the complexity of the floor’s outer section.
