And, while it is still early in the weekend, Valtteri Bottas’ eighth place slot in FP2 has at least offered an early indication that its changes could have shifted it up a gear in the ultra-tight midfield battle.

The changes that have been made are all at the rear, with the engine cover, floor body and floor edge all optimised to improve flow conditions, while also providing an uptick in cooling performance.
