On the eve of this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, Mercedes showed off their long-awaited upgrades for their troubled 2023 F1 car which includes new sidepods, front suspension and floor.
Top half appears to show a horizontal sidepod entry below the downwash wing structure, compared to the vertical entry in Miami (the bottom half of the picture). Which suggests that they are trying to get some outwash bodywork below the entry along with the downwash wing. Which will be quite something if they've managed it within the fairly restricted rules applying in this volume.
The Miami one is the downwash wing and the vertical sidepod entry below it. It does, at first glance, look like the floor but it isn't.
so the midwing is still there and it's the upper part of the sidepod inlet
Is it me, or does that photo seem to suggest a lot of anti dive on the front suspension?
It looks like an inverted Red Bull protruding lip. Overbite rather than underbite.
That midwing is so thick that the sidepod height from the top of the midwing to the bottom of the inlet creates little space for a possible undercut.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 13:19It looks like an inverted Red Bull protruding lip. Overbite rather than underbite.
