The green arrow is the heave spring which is changed. I'm not sure about the red arrow, I think Mercedes said they were going to bring an updated DAS system, maybe it has to do with that.mkay wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 14:46What are we looking at here?Morteza wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 13:51Alessandro Arcari has made a comparison with Barcelona Test 2.

The carbon cover over the DAS steering rack is slightly different shape, not exactly earth-shattering change.mkay wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 14:46What are we looking at here?Morteza wrote: ↑02 Jul 2020, 13:51Alessandro Arcari has made a comparison with Barcelona Test 2. There have been changes

Pretty low DF rear wing for Austria's average
They have a new diffuser design so perhaps they can get away with less rear wing for a given downforce level? If so, it'll certainly add some top speed. Useful in Austria.
