Mercedes AMG F1 W07

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.

Teams used to throw all sorts of stuff at the front of the floor to enhance vorticity. Conceptually, the idea is as old as bargeboards.

Why do they use such huge camera mountings on the airbox compared to the other cars?
Also they have them on both sides, no other car has two mountings...

1.Bigger could mean different or more technology/systems
2.Both sides i think we already discussed it with other W0Xs that is about better stability

They've stopped for lunch and there was no new wing fitted. They said today or tomorrow.

I think you are all going to be very disappointed. It doesn't make sense for Merc to publicly declare what they are running and when, it's a distraction.
