1- The reshaped roll-hoop intake: It now has a higher aspect ratio, is slightly wider, and has a lower height, along with minor cooling optimizations. The airbox design also appears to have been modified, which could suggest an improvement in centerline cooling. However, we’ll need to see under the covers to confirm this.

2- The revised engine cover: McLaren has moved away from the large cannon-style outlets, which has helped reduce the frontal area and overall surface area of the engine cover. This adjustment provides a slight performance gain for the rear wing. At extremely high speeds, where airflow is fast enough to prevent spillage into the SP area, the cannon-style outlets tend to be more effective. This change seems to take inspiration from Ferrari’s design approach.
