Nice view of the FW36

The shape of the car is very odd. Especially around the sidepods.

The side pods have a wonderful flow! The tail is more effectively streamed. I feel it is very successful! =D>

massa's fuel consumption is the lowest amongst top 10 ....

It is in all races, and they consistently have the highest top speeds in all races.

A possible explanation would be that they have a low drag / low downforce car, with the low drag allowing them to keep competitive lap times. The low downforce means that the corners (partial or no throttle) are a bit longer for them, while the full throttle sections of the straights are shorter. They cannot apply full power without wheelspin until a bit later than the rest, and they have to start braking a bit earlier than the rest, but they are in average faster than the rest between those two points. The net effect would be less time at full throttle for the same lap time, and hence lower fuel consumption.
I am expecting them to excel in Canada (and maybe in Spa ,like Force India back in 2009)

Maybe its the short revs they use. They shift quite early which means lower revs and less fuel consumption. That big of difference can't never be accounted for because of drag/low downforce I think.

Analyzed Mercedes- problems

Mercedes modified new engines

Also, Mercedes is not infallible. In Monaco Valterri Bottas put his Williams -Mercedes smoking from the edge of the track . Kevin Magnussen lost four places due to loss of power. Mercedes will react with all new , not yet sealed motors.

A glance at the list of spare parts of the FIA ​​is enough and you can see that Mercedes is on schedule . In all eight riders stood in the list of six blocks before you drive a GP Monaco 2 rivals from Ferrari and Renault has arrived at various components already at 3 or 4 . However, after the Monaco GP is also the vest from Mercedes can not remember.

At McLaren Kevin Magnussen was slowed by drive problems. Here, the problem of the rookies was only temporary. The Dane lost in the final stages of the race four positions because the electric motors less power charges as planned. Fault was a defective sensor . Magnussen was able to fix the problem even in the car by switching to a different motor program and a reset .

MGU -K problem kills Mercedes engine
More serious was the damage robbed Valtteri Bottas eighth. A fixed uneaten bearing in the drive the MGU -K was killing at the same time the combustion engine. This Bottas is the motor and the MGU -K has three units. This could be tight until the end of the season . A MGU -K must be at least 3600 km with.

Mercedes has located in response to the defect in Williams all in circulation and checked already sealed motors on possible sources of error in this area. For all new engines that are included in the system , countermeasures are taken . The FIA ​​allows operation on the motor , provided they are used to improve the stability.
