Haven't seen many diffusers pics so far (Williams: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2017/02/27/2 ... /_mg_2019/ ), but I guess Merc's approach won't be the norm.

I'd love to know how much surface area a '17 car has vs a '16. That looks like they drove it through a glue factory and then a winglet shop.

There's a lot of car to push through the air so there must be a beast under the engine cover.

It does seem to have a thicker portion and an opening at the top.

It's indeed a chimney. https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 1735004161
