Mercedes W16

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Compared to other team's espacially RB and Mclaren W16's engine cover looks so bulky, last year also it was very similar with no updates on that area, wonder if they will change it at all this year.

So much area between the sidepod base and the floor compares to redbull. Also much less bulk on the flank of thw sidepod. They place the cooling flow area higher up into the engine cover. The car is quite efficient.
Control arms also high and out of the way of the floor and said top of floor area.

This is effectively a W13 with cheek bones.
For Sure!!
