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.

3- In the images, you can now clearly see the P-shaped inlet. There’s also a small divider inside it, which might be hinting at two separate ducting paths.

4- As I pointed out in the cover images, it looks like there’s an RB-style cooling exit just below the rear push-rod. This could be an outlet for a through-flow duct connected to the lower part of the SP inlet. It must be cooling something to comply with the regulations. But, just to be clear, I can’t confirm this for sure, so consider it more of a guess than a fact.

It looks similar to the Ferrari SF24 car, doesn’t it?
