Wait for the real car before big analyses. Things like even front suspension on the render can be a lie

Mercedes looks to have even more changes vs 2024 car than Ferrari, those two cars stand out so far

Front nose looks like the B-Spec W14 Front Wing which was brought in Silverstone 2023. I wonder if Mercedes and James Allison took many ideas from their previous cars in these new regs and incorporated them into the W16.

I kind of get that theme across the whole grid; in 2022 and a lesser extent 2023 we saw a huge variance in design ideas. It seems like a lot of these early designs might have offered great theoretical potential but teams lacked the know-how to implement them in the real world. Things like the W13/W14 skinny sidepod inlets (and then overbite mid-wing on W14"B") and some wing shapes. The AMR22 and the C42 with their massive sidepod undercuts which have now become the norm but at the time it was thought that front tire wake could not be properly controlled. Even the SF-25 has some ideas that are heavily evolved from the F1-75 even if the intervening cars ditched them.

99% certain now it’s just a dark shadow but at first I thought there was a 2013 Red Bull-style diffuser tunnel under the side pod

Otherwise I think this is deceptively different - first glance you don’t think they’ve done much but actually there’s a lot going on.
