Mercedes AMG F1 W03

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.

See look at the 2nd pic there, if you turn the angle a little bit more it would be asymetric compared to the other side, for anyone who thinks its asymetric.

Yeah, I now noticed this :wink:
Thanks :D

It's even clearer to spot the differences on yener's post, even if it didn't had the red dots. The angle is much better on both versions of FW

Huntresa, the wings are different on yener's post, it doesn't prove your assumption that it was angle related. Look at the wing again on atanatizante's post and see that there are 2 vertical planes on left endplate(left from driver's POV) and only 1 vertical plane on right endplate

PS: Anybody remember seeing that V shape on the gurney flap, on another car?

This is the image that was linked asking asymetric Image

..............

If you look at the arrow on the left side you see the top of the first endplate and then the 2nd, just like what a surprise the other side :P

Here is without arrows

Also it works with the pic that has 2 wings, cause i just meant if you angle the bottom one abit more it looks like 1 endplate, as i said it has been discussed like 30 pages back in this thread.

Yeah, the arrow was covering the other vertical plane. When you posted the image without it, I zoomed it and saw the other one.

Anyway, it wouldn't be of any use to test an asymetric wing because the rules don't allow asymetric fw.

Any idea of how consistent the lap times were?

Do the upgrades seem promising?

Probably asking questions I won't get answers for, but hey! :)

Also notice that the DDRS tubes going from end of the engine cover into the rear crash structure are gone, is is that MGP dropped the DDRS after all...
