Although the side view shows how the livery has changed, it doesn’t reveal many other changes on the AT02.

The front view shows a quite significant change to the bargeboards and vanes on the sidepods, which have undergone some development to try and recover the lost downforce.

The top view gives a good look at what is the biggest change on the 2021 cars – the new floor which is cut diagonally, and like on the McLaren, is likely a launch ‘spec’ with further development likely.

Finally the rear of the car: The biggest change here is to the diffuser, which features shorter vanes as required by the regulations – another move by the FIA to cut downforce on the new cars.
Cool stuff!
