Is it just me, or is the rear wing end plate a new design with a more curved/countered edge trying to deflect air in the horizontal without the slots that Ferrari and RBR have but trying to do the same thing perhaps.

The DRD will be used this week end, look at the monkey seat

As Scarbs was suggesting, they'll likely try the drag reduction device (the inverted-U replacing the monkey seat)

I am not sure that is the Merc so I got out the picture.

Nevermind, it's Lotus pic

I think it's the lotus, the rear wing is different from the W04

[matt_b]

I'd say its the lotus, the big clue is the drive shaft, mercedes have integrated theirs into the rear suspension like red bull, mclaren et al, unlike lotus. Its a concept they seem to have abandoned for now.

it's simple. That RW is Black!

[stefan_]

Yes, it was the Lotus. Sorry for mixing up that picture with the Mercedes ones.

Do you see the curve on the rear edge of the end plates?

[heimana]

Yes, i see the difference now! Thank you!!

Sweet so upgrade #1 spotted, I am sure there are numerous we can't see under the skin

I also thing the sidepod profile is a little modified...but that could just be me
