"It’s just one step, hopefully, further in the right direction," Lewis Hamilton said about the upgrade.
“It’s not a huge, huge package or anything like that but we’re just [going] step by step, hopefully trying to close down the gap."
Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin added: "Hopefully move us a bit further up the grid."
The new front wing is remiscent of the variations that Ferrari and Haas already race with.
Eagle-eyed fans may notice the much longer upper flaps of Mercedes' new front wing.
The slot gap separator bracket also looks different to the previous version fitted to the W14.
