Mercedes AMG F1 W04

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.

It has a new rear wing, new floor, new flow modifiers under the mirror and modified front wing and that is all in addition to the new internals and suspension upgrades for the tires...I think that's pretty darn good

New louvres on the rear wing. Anyone got a picture of the whole rear wing?

I think AMUS is wrong this time, because I noticed some (big) updates and it would be very strange if they didn't have updates, because every team brought updates this weekend.

Looks like a nod to the u- pod too.

It seems everyone is looking for big visual changes, and if they can't see them from 100 meters away then they assume the teams didn't do anything.

Only one vortex generator instead of the usual three and its been reshaped (located between the Wing Mirror Stalk and the leading edge of the Sidepod). Its only only visual change I can see so far.

Please read the last 3 pages for that and other changes (visible or otherwise) that have been discussed.

Its all good....I've read they are hoping for 2 tenths and much easier on the rear tires (that in itself will help a lot)
