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.

Lol. I wonder if that would create vibrations on the camera at speed. So what do we call them? Handlebars? :lol:

Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

Merc meet the "minimal" demand in the tech regs for their camera pods but keep the high position

So looks like the idea is still legal, but the mountings have to be as minimal as possible

That looks hilarious, but hopefully FIA gets rid of that, how hard can it be to write a single line where there is no leverage on the camera mounts..
