A glimpse of the new front wing introduced by McLaren and raced by Fernando Alonso at the last round in Austin.
A peek inside Ferrari's garage as the SF70H is prepared for track action.
In this shot of the installation of the Renault power unit, note the slanted oil coolers mounted either side of the ICE and fed by an inverted Y-shaped piece of ductwork.
A close-up of the new diffuser introduced by Renault in Austin. You'll note that the team has followed a growing trend of creating a compartmentalised outer section, made up of various perforated surfaces emanating from the outer Gurney trims. There's a new solution from Renault though - a shovel winglet (arrowed) droops down over the back of this section and is used to pick up the airflow.
In order to entice more airflow out of the rear cooling outlet, Renault has added a Gurney trim to the trailing edge of the engine cover (arrowed).
Force India has a suit of updates, which includes this vertical sidepod deflector that has a metal rod attached to the sidepod to increase rigidity.
Note how the front brake disc is exposed in order to displace the heat generated under braking.
Red Bull with a high-downforce set-up to help overcome the losses associated with the extreme altitude at this circuit. As part of that, the high-downforce T-wing is back in use.
The louvred panel alongside the C36's cockpit dissipates heat generated from within the sidepod.
Force India's front wing has various appendages mounted to the endplate, tasked with controlling the wake shed by the front wheel behind.
Force India's high-downforce rear wing, supplemented by the two-tier monkey seat introduced a few races ago.
The front wing used by Mercedes is complete with the revised mainplane, which features an upturned leading edge.
A close-up of the outboard section of the new front wing raced by Fernando Alonso in Austin. It features extra slots in the outermost part and a revision to the shape of the inner endplate canards.
Renault's new bargeboards are being trialled once more in Mexico, having been run briefly in Austin.
This fascinating view of the VJM10’s front wing from behind shows just how the flared outer tunnel is shaped in order to manipulate the airflow ahead of the front tyre.
Force India's tri-element T-wing, which also features slots in the leading edge of each element.

Force India has introduced a new bargeboard, floor and sidepod deflector package in Mexico. Note the merged floor axehead and pre-bargeboard, which is now arched rather than having a straight edge. The vertical serrations now have a much more aggressively curved leading edge, while the introduction of the deflector means that there is one less section at the rear
The swept cockpit canards on the VJM10.
An extreme close-up of the new floor strakes added to the upwardly curved leading edge of the floor as part of the overall upgrade. It’s worth noting these are a solution first seen on the Mercedes - but one that's also featured on the Red Bull since.

Note the enlarged cooling capacity in play for Mercedes, with the cooling panel at maximum and a pair of additional vertical slits placed in the panel.
