That Merc rear wing is a parachute compared to the others. Hopefully, for Mercedes, this will be the last time they have to race it.
That's not Merc's parachute wing. The rear flap is trimmed and the endplate has a heavy trim. The endplate alone gave Lewis something like 10kph over George last weekend.

The Mclaren and the Red Bull wings actually look bigger. The Ferrari is clearly smaller thought.

I would rank them from biggest to smallest

Mclaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari.

How the hell do you think that the top left wing is smaller than the top right wing? It's ok to be a Red Bull fan but making up --- like that is just silly.
What does any of this have to do with being a fan of anything?

The RB has a much larger rear flap than the Mercedes and a gurney flap. As far as bi-element wings go, the secondary flap is more inefficient than the main flap which is wh you almost always see the main element larger than the flap (unless you are like Red Bull and you sacrifice some efficiency, for the greater DRS effect).

The angle the pic of the merc rear wing has been taken at is not the same as the others.

If taken from lower down, it probably looks lime a low DF wing, for a merc at least.

Apparently. Let's just wait for the FP2 until all normal race drivers are on their cars.

Verstappen looking very good on his flyers. None of the lack of turning from last weekend.

Russell looking RB's biggest challenger yet again, smart of him not to show his hand in an unrepresentative P1.

Don't know the fuel load (start, or first pit stop), but no it doesn't look that great...

Nothing new as it was clear in Zandvoort that the car has become a shitbox, but yeah depressing to see.
