The list of upgrades Formula 1 teams have brought to the Japanese Grand Prix is relatively small, but does include a change at Ferrari.

Mark Hughes runs through the list.

### Ferrari

Ferrari has brought its latest floor, with revised geometry front and rear.

Earlier this week our technical illustrator Rosario Giuliana took a look at [what Ferrari might be expecting from this upgrade](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/could-a-new-floor-help-ferrari-build-on-singapore-gains/).

### AlphaTauri

AlphaTauri has a new rear wing tip which narrows the transition to the endplate and effectively increases the wing span slightly.

### Aston Martin

Just a smaller beam wing for drag reduction specific to Suzuka.

### Alfa Romeo

One of the more significant changes. Alfa Romeo brings an all-new front wing with completely different attachment to the nose and reprofiled flaps.

The team describes it as a major step forward in improving the car’s balance.

### Williams

Reduced cooling levels on the engine cover for drag reduction.
