Ferrari upgrade onslaught ends as F1 rivals claw back ground

Ferrari's run of introducing regular upgrades has come to an end, with the Scuderia not bringing an upgrade package to this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

The Scuderia's aggressive development strategy has attracted significant attention this season. However, for Spa-Francorchamps, Ferrari joins Aston Martin as one of only two teams without new components for the 10th round of the campaign.

It is upgrades galore elsewhere, particularly among the leading teams, with McLaren introducing a modified rear wing endplate.

Mercedes has also introduced new parts, focusing on the front and rear of its W17. The Silver Arrows has a new front wing endplate and new rear brake drum winglets.

As confirmed on media day ahead of this weekend, Red Bull has removed its upside-down rear wing, returning to a traditional design.

In the midfield, Williams has a brand-new floor, while Audi has introduced a slightly modified diffuser, the next step in the German manufacturer's larger aerodynamic development programme.

Crucially, in the fight between Racing Bulls and Alpine, it is the former that has introduced a significant upgrade package for Belgium.

Racing Bulls has introduced upgrades to its engine cover, rear wing, roll hoop and front corner in one of its biggest packages to date. However, only Arvid Lindblad has all of the new parts fitted. Alpine, meanwhile, has introduced only a reprofiled halo to improve airflow.

Haas has also brought a substantial package to Spa, introducing a new front wing, front wing endplates, front corner and beam wing in a bid to challenge for regular points. Finally, Cadillac, F1's newest outfit, has introduced upgraded front wing endplates.
