Mercedes W14

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.

Rear wing endplate corner is different, too. They're running different downforce setups

Okay, sorry.
My mind seems to be playing tricks to me after the weekend got cancelled.

Can't wait to see the upgrades. I thought today was Wednesday for some reason.
The upgrades won't be seen till Friday no?

Id expect to see a few pics come tomorrow evening or most definitely Thursday. A lot of the show and tell stuff is done on Thursday and cars are fully assembled in the garage together with FIA checks so you will definitely see some pics.

Changes to floor/front suspension/sidepods (where the changes are rumoured/stated to be occurring) won't be visible until Thursday usually

Looks like the radiators are very low which might indicate a deep cut on top of the sidepods as well. Maybe more alpine than Redbull.

Think this validates PlatinumZealots view that extending the sidepod outward was indeed possible.

I’m still struggling to work it out with the planes on the axis. Does this side pod scoop turn back in to the chassis
