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.

Interesting to see how this fixes the rear grip problem. And if it does this by fancy wake management with those arches near the ends, i hope it works at a wide range of speeds.
Just using cfd eyes i think there is some yaw behavior improvement as well, looking on the end plates.
For Sure!!

Contrary, the rear end seem to be even more detached.

First session with the new wing, I'm guessing it will get better over the weekend.

Looks like one old wing and one new wing.

The "new" front wing is the one from Silverstone.

So they’ve brought the classic start-of-2022 high downforce rear wing with new endplates! Rear downforce is their problem right now so this might help a bit…
