For the Belgian Grand Prix Mercedes has prepared the biggest upgrade package of all front-running teams. Here are the changes made!
Front Wing Endplate
Reason for change: Performance – flow conditioning
Difference: “Reprofiled wing tip elements as they run into the endplate.”
Description: “Improved flow over wing tip by reducing pressure peaks, reducing losses and improving flow to the rear of the car.”
Floor Fences
Reason for change: Performance – local load
Difference: “Floor fence alignment adjustment.”
Description: “Better fence alignment through more conditions, improving the flow that feeds into the floor vortex system and improving local downforce.”

Floor Body
Reason for change: Performance – flow conditioning
Difference: “New reduced chord floor edge wing.”
Description: “Reduced wing chord reduces wing load, this in turn improves flow into the diffuser increasing both floor and diffuser downforce.”
Rear Wing
Reason for change: Performance – drag reduction
Difference: “Reprofiled flap and wing tips.”
Description: “Efficient reduction in wing load which is appropriate for the circuit in Spa where lower drag wing levels are optimum.”
