Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+

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.

I remember thinking the 2008 cars were so complex with all the little aero winglets they had, but this car and the rest of the field make the 2008 car look so simple and undeveloped.
Im afraid the FW42 doesnt qualify for this list... :wink:

Insane, as if all that detail wasn't enough they've even fitted metal edges to slice the oppositions tyres, the ruthless ba$&rds

This photo reminded me how incredibly small Merc's sidepods are. Lovely shot.

I think it's more likely they are there to protect against Max Vettel's mistakes :lol:

That bargeboard area is just mugging the air that goes by for extra downforce. Amazing how complex that looks.

Is this all about out-wash management again?

The tighter the regulations get, the more bits of carbonfibre turn up.

Wow that's just art isn't it? Renaissance masters would be amazed to see that! I would love to have that in my living room 😊

Wow amazing shot. Is that a shot of a future WDC for 2019 :P

What I don't get is regulations we're changed to reduce downforce so cars.could follow each other better...in a nutshell yet the cars are faster overall!! I don't understand that.

Also why does pirelli keep mucking around with tore pressures all the time?

Well all the bits appear in the "free" areas, all over, in all of the free areas...

I believe these bargeboard pieces are also for keeping the flow attached to the sidepods (and creating downwash over the sidepods, as you can see by the angled pieces), so the air goes around the undercut of the car and stays attached so that the air drives over the top of the diffuser (enhancing downforce further down the car).

They would be much faster overall if they hadn't changed the rules! :wink:

No surprise they get faster when there are 500 people working on making them faster...
