I am impressed. Looks beautiful. Great Sleek Sidepods. New Front wing,looks cool,the whole nose & Front Wing has been build in a way in optimize the Front Wing F-duct. With so much developmental time & with Mercedes choosing to go for this,there must be significant benefits.
Unless RBR & Renault work on some fancy exhaust or the inlet at the break of the nose offers huge benefits I see Mercedes challenging RBR & Mclaren-Ferrari & fighting for podium places. It is impossible to say if this is a winner or not.
I love the Rear Wing. Not huge Rear Wing like Mclaren last year or no cheap Monkey Seat. RBR,Ferrari,Force India,Lotus,Mclaren have all gone for the Monkey Seat to increase downforce. This car will be a monster in Monza & will have great Straightline Speed.
