Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, have confirmed the updates brought by teams to this weekend's Australian Grand Prix. Early 2022 pace-setters Ferrari and Red Bull are both taking the opportunity to run new parts, but Mercedes - having struggled for pace in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia - will compete with an unchanged car. World Championship leaders Ferrari will trial a new diffuser, alongside their planned front wing sensor tests around the modified Albert Park Circuit. Red Bull, meanwhile, have a new front wing endplate. Mercedes have no updates, with an updated floor expected at the next round in Imola , before an evolved aerodynamic package arrives in Spain.
What about the other F1 teams?
As for the other teams, Williams have a new beam wing, floor edge, front wing and front brake ducts, and Alpine new floor fences and a modified rear brake drum. Haas will run an upgraded diffuser, McLaren revised winglets on the rear corner of their car and Aston Martin a new rear wing. Alfa Romeo and AlphaTauri are the other teams with no upgrades in Melbourne.
