[Ben74]

According to AMuS Mercedes will run the old car today.

Wie wir gerade erfahren haben, wird Mercedes heute noch mit dem alten Auto fahren. Die Updates werden schrittweise ab morgen eingeführt. Nico Rosberg war nicht begeistert: "Ich würde schon langsam gerne wissen, wo wir stehen."

As we have just learned, Mercedes is today still take the old car. The updates will be phased in as of tomorrow. Nico Rosberg was not impressed: "I'd been slow to know where we stand."

Lindz,

Mercedes said the updates for the W02 would be at the Barcelona test, not which day

patience.

[Lindz]

Given how far off the pace they are and how much they are relying on this upgrade, it's bewildering to give yourself at most 3 days of running.

Not that this was known earlier, but now rain is forcast for Friday and Saturday. So potentially they will have 1 day of dry testing with their 'revolutionary' upgrade package.

Brilliant!

In the Autosport live commentary they're suggesting that the W02 has a new exhaust on it today.

Autosport.com :

"09:13 Our verdict on the new Mercedes package is that it looks like only an updated exhaust is on the car today, with more updates flowing through from tomorrow."

So mаybe at least an updated exhaust...

adrianjordan , you beat me

[marcush.]

does not make sense to me...the exhaust is an aero device possibly harming other components due to the thermal implications...so how can you put7treat this as a isolated component?

[kris]

Could it be that their earlier cooling issues are related to exhaust and they are testing the same.

[Blackout]

And they also mounted real sidepod deflectors...

A picture of the exhaust from autosport:

[Blackout]

I knew it ! the exhausts are almost in the middle of the floor...

[bot6]

The sidepod shape also seems a bit different, more angular on the top...
