I guess we might have already seen changes No. 1 and 2.. but the winglets (3) should be new.

It may be me but I am failing to see any real changes to the rear wing except for the angle. :?:

I meant the diffuser winglets (well, difusser shaped like winglets) on its sides - number 3 on the picture above. Rear wing did not change (unless I am not mistaken).
