Mercedes AMG F1 W03

so Shcumacher IS the test mule. his car's lack of reliability is due to untested components being given to him to test race and develop

This floor is different. There is no longer a deep groove leading towards the trailing edge of the floor/diffuser. Instead it's filled in and there's something carbon there.

Updated front-wing. The upper flap is longer and shapes like a razor.

The upper flap may be sharper, but isn't longer, due to regulations. Just the angle of the photo.

In my opinion, Merc get an updated bargeboard and turning vane ahead of the sidepod:



For comparison, here is a picture from yesterday:

A better pic from today.. someone want to "Enhance" it?

Looks like Mercedes and Lotus have zero interest in other exhaust solutions at the moment. I'm wondering if they're collecting data for next season as Charlie has stated this year's EBD will definitely not be present next year as new rules tighten things down further.

[madly]

Yeah, and they are looking for DF in other aero regions not wasting time on solutions that probably will be banned in next year...


Is it standard procedure to cover FW or is it something new in FW?

[Timstr]

Looks like an updated front wing, with inboard tips of the larger trailing flap merged into the main plane.

The nose seems new, much larger, almost W02-ish.

The nose seems new, much larger, almost W02-ish.

Hmm indeed. Might just be the camera being so close up though?

I agree, I thought it was the W02 nose for a second too.

Front wing pylons are definitely new, gap between them looks wider.

[zyphro]

Does anyone know why Merc haven't tried a new exhaust solution (like RB/McLaren)? I'm presuming they see no benefit, rather it's better to concentrate on extracting performance from other avenues + tyres?

Can't find a good image to compare other than these: (for nose).
