The stewards in Bahrain requested McLaren change the profile of certain parts of their front wing endplates (in yellow), to give previous sharp edges a safer, more rounded shape. They have thus introduced this revised solution in Australia, the changes coming in an area that is very important in controlling air vortices in front of the front tyres.
Force India VJM03 - adjustable front wing flaps
Together with new wider central pillars, which are similar to those on the Mercedes, the Force India drivers could use adjustable flaps (red arrow) for the first time in Australia in order to reduce the understeer problems they endured in Bahrain.
McLaren MP4-25 - modified diffuser
McLaren have had to modify the MP4-25's rear diffuser following a rule clarification from the FIA. The horizontal window in the central section was considered to be wider than necessary for simply allowing access for the external engine starter. They have kept almost the same shape (see inset) but with a smaller opening.
