This is the first Mercedes in the ground effect that looked completely identical to the renders.

They likely weren't renders.

Thinnest sidewall to push out the front-tyre wake AND no shoulder to protect the high energy flow on top of the sidepods. Seems like they struggle to learn the lesson

The first thing that hit me when I saw this pic was MP4-20.

There is a steange black "thumb" protruding from the top of only the right sidepod. Probably a camera?

I can only see the Beam wing and what I suspect to be the rear brake cooling.

Coanda on the belly of the sidepod, probably works in conjunction/tandem with the new throat to the floor leading to the diffuser. Could be a way of accelerating the flow in that region.

Was that McLarens 2014 car in the first hybrid year - before they switched to Honda the following year?
