Williams FW41 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.

It's similar to last years, but oddly the second intercooler-->plenum air pipe has to get around the compressor airbox, while the first one goes directly to the plenum... just because of a lack of space?

That wing must be sponsored by Asda.

That wing should be part of their merchandising - they'd sell a ton of them!

That tiny wing is helping the crash structure turn the exhaust flow, it's doing more than first appears.

This was posted in the testing thread that I found very interesting...
Seems that the diffuser on the Williams is working well, but I'm interested in the cut outs in the central section on the Ferrari, does that give even more flow than the Williams solution?
Does that also mean the Ferraris gearbox is mounted higher to gain more diffuser area?
Also anyone else notice the channel that runs behind the airbox T camera?

I thought there were no metal appendages allowed on that crash structure? Can they just not extend past it?

There are some changes in the car. Especially in the bargeboard area
