Engine Upgrades
There was a discussion a while ago - can't find the thread now - about improvements to engines during the season, and someone was adamant that no changes could be made because of the engine freeze.
Not true according to Jack Eeckelaert of Honda:
It's more difficult than in the past to make an engine evolution with a bit more revs. But nowadays, with frozen engine spec, there's still some engine development work going on within the window that is allowed.Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

I think it was when McLaren introduced a new engine early in the season which reputedly sported about 20+ bhp, that some Ferrari fans claimed this can't be done within the rules. Alas, it seems they were mistaken.
Sadly (for me) it wouldn't matter much as Ferrari is now poised to get every single one of those 20 bhp back by getting ahead in the WCC soon.Iceman: Adjective 1)Rapid, swift 2)Nickname of Kimi-Matias Räikkönen, a legendary Formula 1 driver

I thought they could only make changes that address "issues" - ie: reliability. I could see potentially if they have an issue of excess wear that a change to address this could allow extra power to get to the driveshaft.
