Ferrari has arrived in Singapore with an adaptation of the cape design seen elsewhere on the grid over the last couple of seasons. The nose structure itself remains largely unchanged but the cape, which will influence the movement of air around the structure, has been incorporated into it.

This image affords a good view of Mercedes’ front brake assembly. Note the silver pipework which serves an aerodynamic purpose – moving airflow captured by the inlet out through the wheel-rim, disrupting the turbulent wake created by the tire.
