Williams FW40 Mercedes

The bulge in the engine cover and the top of the rear fin suggests Williams might be going to run a chimney type air exit the same as Merc.

Best glimpse of the barge board behind the barge board i could get.


I still haven't quite figured out if there are some tricks hidden under the nose.

I see two dark dots above the bargeboard ! New aero bits to come ?

[Sevach]

That's not dirt on my monitor? lol

Maybe that horizontal fin Mercedes and Haas have.

That's not dirt on my monitor? lol

No. You can see them on both sides of the car. Look at the last two pictures !!!

Thanks to shorter tea tray FWs are closer than ever to the ground(except for those Red Bulls that had them flexing like crazy).

What goes under them can be crucial.

Rear wishbone mounts to the same substructure as the rear wing pylon.








Williams & Merc pursuing similar mirror treatment. Recessed.

I'm most interested in the bargeboard/leading edge of the floor. There's definitely something going on there with the leading edge so high.

I'm off to scour for photos.

Suspension arms are perfectly lined up either with the hot air exits and diffuser, top and bottom ones respectively (and obviously).

I think there is a vertical cooling slot under powerd by Mercedes-Benz.
