In the Sky video, the presenter mentioned that they were not allowed to film or photograph the back of the car.jeffersoooooon wrote: ↑13 Feb 2019, 22:21Isn't there any photo of the back of the Mercedes taken on this "promo day"? I wonder where they put their wastegates (same for the RB).
the 3 caps on top of the halo are interesting, I wonder what they are for.
They are halo attachment points. They were also present last year, but this color really makes them pop. All teams have them
ahh, ok
Maybe it's the for bodywork the teams attach to the halo. I could be mistaken thoughdans79 wrote: ↑13 Feb 2019, 22:52ahh, ok
I assumed they attached just like they did on the test rig, by that I mean a single horizontal pin.

What is this noise right after he releases throttle after accelerating? For example at 0:24 and 1:24. Is it really the turbo dump?
Yes! I think you're on to something here... I've noticed that too this morning but i could just come here on the forum quite lately to see if anyone else have picked it up too. It took me a while to find your tiny post ahaha!
Looks no different than last year to be honest, and all reports suggest there were no changes to the front suspension, just the rearGiando wrote: ↑13 Feb 2019, 23:29Yes!

Thx for searching with me . I didn't find anything either. You can't see the wastgates on photo's taken from the side or from the front. As we are all talking about whats visible, the rear seems to stay the most important of those cars, as they are clearly hiding this (again). Also, i find it pretty strange or better ridiculous on a so called "promo day" that they may not take photo's of certain parts of the car. A promo day should be open and public.
I'm sorry, i have to disagree.mantikos wrote: ↑14 Feb 2019, 00:26Looks no different than last year to be honest, and all reports suggest there were no changes to the front suspension, just the rearGiando wrote: ↑13 Feb 2019, 23:29Yes!

The bit that looks like a wing underneath appears to actually be a driver-facing camera location. It's easily visible on the Hamilton onboard video.TimmTurbo wrote: ↑13 Feb 2019, 12:57On the picture taken from the side it seems that the halo features a small wing in its center section to create downwash. Perhaps to feed the intake, as it is slightly "blocked" from the HALO
