I don't know, without the interesting V shape we would talk about an evolution of the 2024 introduced FW. Because the arrangement of the FW elements are still the same, no new philosophy.

I would rather like to see the floor and sidepods.

That change is huge. These cars are limited to what they can do on the front wing. Plus it's not where the difference in DF between teams is coming from. Most wing changes are all about the floor and controlling where the air goes once it's past the wing.

ALO plays down the size (or impact) of the new package and overall the expectations.

Alonso: "[These will] not be the last. We hope to bring more innovations to Monaco, Canada or Barcelona, and little by little we will get closer"

In reality, in my opinion it's a fairly minimal thing, the hollowed out central part is already present in other cars while the V shape in front of the front wheel I don't know how much of an advantage it could give to flows. It's not a revolution on the front wing for me, the Mercedes one is a total change in philosophy

According to Motorsport Aston Martin is expected to unveil a whole host of new parts on Friday, including a new floor, sidepod and engine cover bodywork. So I guess we'll have to wait another day then.

He did downplay the expectations a lot saying it's just "normal" updates like Jeddah or Suzuka, but if this were to be true then it's quite a substantial package, so that's weird. Not sure if he's being honest or playing games.

They need this to work to dispell the doubters. Apparently they have another big update for Silverstone. Team is at least efficient at producing updates now. New factory already feels like it’s making a difference.

The hollowed out center is cooling for the driver. It was there in the first race or testing, it isn´t new. Has no performance impact.

The V is very special and interesting. They are obvious trying to disrupt and guide the air with that on the front wing and stay within the rules. When designing wings in aerodynamics, V-shapes cutouts are often used to reduce weight, improve aerodynamics, and enhance structural integrity. The V-shape will also create vortices.
