I'll paste McLaren/Ferrari here, but for everything else, check out the source.
The top picture of the F60 and F2008 alongside each other shows not just how much wider the front wings are this year - but also how much lower they are. This is a major change over recent seasons where on several occasions the FIA has required teams to increase the heights of their front wings in a bid to make them work less effectively and reduce cornering speeds.
The incredible intricacy and sophistication of 2008-style F1 aerodynamics is out the window this year - with a few small exceptions. The odd pile of squiggles in front of the Ferrari side pods (also on the Williams FW31 and Toyota TF109) shows the rule makers haven?t been entirely successful in eradicating complex aerodynamics.
Ferrari have reduced the size of their exhausts which, as seen on the launch car above, were thought not to comply with the 2009 regulations.

McLaren began testing this week using the 2009 car but with the 2008 rear wing. Am I the only one who thought it looked absolutely brilliant? The lower, wider rear wing looked great with the front wing in similar proportions. I?m not sold on the high, narrow rear wings yet - unless it turns out they really do allow the cars to follow each other more closely.
McLaren didn?t provide many studio pictures of its car when it was launched but some more recently became available.
