Williams FW40 Mercedes

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.

Williams: il mozzo forato della FW40 è già stato smontato!

Because of rain forecast the team has reversed (into the afternoon) to non-blown front axle!
I'm not sure that's correct, on the paddock Massa's car was showing blown axle, Lance's had it closed.
When the cars hit the track we will know for sure.

Interesting to note in these pictures (if I'm seeing right) that Massa has only one t-wing, while Stroll has both. Wonder if there are other differences.

I think you are right.

Regarding the new FW, i think the team is using a "hybrid", the new endplates but without that small deflector in the middle of the flaps.

Massa column: Chinese GP hopes wrecked by tyre degradation

..."It was a really difficult race, and at times we were seven seconds off the pace – which showed we had a fundamental issue. After the race we looked at the data, and started looking for answers as to the problem we had with the tires." ...
