The Ferrari F1-75, which features a special livery this weekend, is prepared for action. Some of the front suspension’s inboard details are visible here, along with the front brake assembly being exposed due to the drum not being in place.

The Red Bull of Sergio Perez has been set up with a lower downforce option, owing to a section of the upper flap being trimmed back.

As the Ferrari F1-75 is prepared the gearbox, rear suspension, brakes and rear wing are detached in order that they can be worked on independently of the power unit and chassis.

A Monza-specification front wing for Aston Martin with a twisted upper flap at the inboard section to reduce drag, matching up with the very low downforce rear wing it plans on using this weekend and was already seen at Spa.

More low downforce fare, this time for Mercedes which has opted for a trimmed version of the low downforce rear wing, although there is a small Gurney on the trailing edge of the flap while the car is being set up.

And here is the rear wing from behind, which you’ll note has just a single element beam wing to help reduce drag, while the wingtip cutout is also absent in the rear wing endplate.

The Mercedes team has not installed the keel bodywork below the bib wing at this point either, giving us a view of the bib and forward stay arrangement.
