- In Korea, Sauber and Ferrari are using a new front wing
Sauber features a new end platewhich is similar in style to Williams' solution. The attachment between the main profile and the end plate is also different with a curved section whilst the profile and flap are much straighter in style. The upper deck flaps are completely different with a wider and more curved design, whilst the small outside fin found on the previous wing has been removed

Ferrari decided to run this front wing on Fernando Alonso's car during qualifying and the race. There are many changes over the older version with most components (nosecone and wing pillars aside) radically different. The endplates are very similar in style to the ones Red Bull introduced at Suzuka and no longer feature a secondary outside vertical fin. The main plane is also reminiscent of the Red Bull with its middle slot, as is the large flap. The upper-deck flap, meanwhile, bears a similarity to the one found on the previous wing, introduced in Budapest back in July
