Vodafone McLaren MP4-27 Mercedes

[Henning]

In these pictures, the bodywork is very smooth, well the bits we can see. Not objective, but there don't seem to be as many bumps, curves and tapers as the other teams. Will that help keep the airflow attached and fast (not so many direction changes sapping energy?) I'm not aerodynamics expert, but it "feels" better. Can anyone elaborate or comment?

Aside from the exhaust slots, also now visible on this pic are a new monkey-seat, reduced size engine cover exit and an all-around slot on the diffuser edge.

Sorry, but what do you mean by "Monkey-Seat"?

The small wing attached to the beam wing is the monkey seat.

I'm not sure it can download much; but it will add a bit of downforce

Don't forget to read the EULA so you're not signing over your firstborn

I believe I'm wrong. I thought it looked like they were using a different exhaust fairing. I don't think so now. :/

I was speaking beam wing.can it be low or high

[Gusgus]

I was speaking beam wing.can it be low or high

It can in the central 150mm which are not regulated, thus allowing extensions like on the McLaren.

It's testing, chill out.

Here's a nice super high-res image of the car where you can see the exhausts. And another which shows the direction of the cutout.
