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.

Looks like they made changes to the construction of the front wing flap adjuster. It is thinner compared to last year and slightly differently shaped.

Guys, I know the car looks good, but can we please stop drooling at every image we see? I'd suggest to some to print out a particular picture of the car and get a room, but I wouldn't be surprised if somebody already did that :P.

Seriously, I'm sure Mercedes loves you praise this piece of art, but let's try to avoid mass-worshiping it as a god and disuss the functions of all these lovely shaped winglets etc.

Rosberg bolts on some softs and finally unleashes the W06's potential.

2.4 seconds faster than Hamilton's pole last year, over a second faster than anyone this week at Barcelona

They must have clawed back a substantial amount of down force. Are they running a new floor?

last years pole time was on mediums in much hotter temperatures so pump the brakes a few times ...

That's an amazing amount of front wing. Were they running that much wing before? The upper elements are almost vertical.
