Mercedes AMG F1 W06

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.

And there it is on Rosberg's car.
Irvine:"If you don't have a good car you can't win it, unless you are Michael or Senna. Lots of guys won in Adrian Newey's cars, big deal. Adrian is the real genius out there, there is Senna, there is Michael and there is Newey.They were the three great talents."

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

I wonder what the horizontal bulge above the suspension mount that runs into the s-duct is. Also are we sure it's an s-duct? It's significantly bigger in cross sections than what others are running.

It doesn't look like a duct, based on bulges from suspension around it looks like housing for springs or something?

The odd bit for me is that the large lump and the suspension bunps are nicely sculpted in to the vanity panel but then here are the two triangular wings that are angular and proud of the upper surface. Odd.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Just seen a shot of Nico running on track and the duct is open. The silver tape/cover on the top facing the cockpit is uncovered.
