The Mercedes W12 with the covers off provides a glimpse at their power unit layout, including the exhaust, intake plenum and the coolers that straddle the ICE. Also note the shape of the gearbox casing which forms the keel shape in order to improve its aerodynamic profile.

Red Bull with its high downforce rear wing for the Hungarian GP but note it is still not using a T-wing in combination, unlike most of its rivals. Also note the lack of Gurney flap on the trailing edge of the upper flap and the use of chequered stickers in order that they can monitor the rear wings flexion, just as the FIA are doing with their dot system.

The footplate cavity on the Alfa Romeo C41's front wing can be seen at this angle too, whilst the mainplane arc where it meets with the neutral central section is not new but is an interesting and relatively aggressive variant.
