Looks like they've removed the middle winglet and moved the upper one down compared to Silverstone. Must be a low DF spec for higher efficiency.

Do you have a "before" picture as well?

I don't have the "after" picture so I marked the old picture from memory. The middle outlets have simply disappeared. It's more in line with the other teams. This would have brought some improvements to downforce and drag.
It was much warmer on Friday so they might have needed it then. Ferrari seems to have a lower heat tolerance than the others. We saw this in Austria where the PU was fully nerfed because of overheating despite having nearly the entire back of the car cut open.
They have been able to close up the car now because it's much cooler on saturday and sunday.
That the red signs were actually the things that closed the outlets
