Mercedes AMG F1 W03

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.

anyone determine for sure what's going on with their mini DDD? I still believe it's a vacuum effect with the starter hole yielding at least a good 3-5 points at the rear end.

We need some clearer shots of the rear corner to see if it is ducted. It just seems like they're using ducts to suply air above the diffuser rather than in the middle through the starter motor loophole.

Isn't that the interim wing? I thought the supposed Melbourne wing was the boxy one with the slots...

...? That image is the 2011 FW. It was tested for a few hours at the 2nd test, and I have not seen it since.

OK, I thought it was supposed to be different somehow. I got it from AMuS here and they act like they have some sort of scoop on the new wing. I should have remembered the rule - if it's in AMuS, you know it's wrong.
