McLaren have become the first team outside the Diffuser Three to run the double-decker diffuser as the Woking outfit fitted an interim design to Lewis Hamilton's car for the first practice session in China.
Earlier this week the FIA's International Court of Appeals upheld the design of the controversial twin-diffuser that was used by Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams with much success in the opening two races of the Championship.
The race was then on for the other teams to incorporate the design, which increases the downforce of the car.
McLaren were the first to blink as the Woking outfit installed a interim version of the design on Hamilton's MP4-24, adding a small winglet above their diffuser and beneath the car's crash structure. The design increased the height and length of the team's diffuser.
McLaren, though, are not the only team expected to introduce the new part this weekend with Renault also believed to be set to use the design - or a version of it - during the course of the Chinese GP weekend.
