Hungary saw the final update to what effectively amounts to a B-spec version of the MP4-30 introduced at the British round by McLaren - a small twisted fin under the mirror, to better channel airflow to the rear of the car.

This latest piece appears to complete the programme, which has been inspired by incoming aerodynamicist Peter Prodromou.
