At the heart of the modern Formula One car is the 'monocoque' (French for ‘single shell’), or 'tub'. It incorporates the driver's survival cell and cockpit, and also forms the principal component of the car's chassis, with engine and front suspension mounted directly to it.

Now onto the REAR wing including the DIFFUSER. The team fitted a brand new rear wing to its car at the first pre season test, featuring a slot at the leading edge of the sidepod panel, similar to last year's design. The extensive fins at the rear end of the endplate are however very new, although it's a development seen on several cars as they do help to reduce pressure underneath the rear wing and therefore increase downforce.
First off is the FRONT wing, although that seems to be a fairly conservative development of a 2013 wing. The panels are still largely the same, although there is some modification in the stacked panels. The endplates on the other hand do not feature slot gaps as with most other teams and simply end up with a vertical fence ahead of the front wheels.
