Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+

According to Motorsport.com, there are some additional changes to the front wing:

"This [new front wing] features a shorter overall chord length, shortening the top two elements to bring the trailing edge further forward along the endplate."

Here's a pretty good angle on the inside portion of the end plate:

Thanks for the pics.
Any idea what the advantages and disadvantages of a shorter chord front wing would bring?

Correct me if I’m wrong but in general a shorter chord would mean less flow separation. Although it may reduce the peak downforce slightly there should be a more consistent balance.

No "S-curve" bodywork opening needed this weekend.

I can't correct you because I have no idea

Literally every piece of bodywork has 1 or more (large) visible changes, a new monocoque and new cooling

The rumours of new lightweight chassis have been quashed by Mercedes.

Can you provide a source, only heard a poster mention it

They are very fast already

With Ferrari and Red Bull having matte finish cars, would Mercedes be able to measure anything from their matte white front wing and bodywork to compare to their regular glossy silver finish? I'm wondering whether they are using this part white livery as a bit of a test for matte silver next year.

Out on track the wing seems more "outwashy".

Daimler has enough information what different types of paint do for temperature, drag, etc etc.

Matte paint is more to have your livery look better on TV when the sun in shining.

I'm not really sure what the intention is I'm afraid ET.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but why did Merc abandon the chimney cooling exit? Does it have something to do with the new rear wing regs this year?

Is this a new wing? It looks more like the one on the Ferrari, or is the angle of the picture?

[SiLo]

When you look at that front wing it seems Merc have actually moved more towards the Ferrari front wing solution than the Red Bull one.
