Mercedes W15

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.

Different engine cover could be for different cooling requirements (but it could be for aerodynamic purposes as well)

Nice pictures! It seems like that are following Ferrari/Red Bull for diffuser shape (big smooth keel in the middle). Plus single element beam wing… any thoughts about that?

Also, notice the upper corners of the diffuser have substantially more sculpting and volume taken out right behind the exit. I'm assuming the exterior and interior shaping correspond.

Looking at edge wing, this is the latest Mercedes floor. That front "depression" near the boat section is significantly high. Photo by motorsport
