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 never thought it'd look like a PC cooling fan.

What is it?

Is there a 1:42 scale model of the W10 behind that fan and they’re doing some wind tunnel inception kinda shiz? :lol:

Chassis here I interpret as the safety cell monocoque inclusive of the cockpit, fuel tank, and front suspension box. The gearbox has essentially become a rear monocoque, but it's also shared with other teams. Not sure if it's included in this context.

Thoughts on what approaches they've used lighten the saftey cell further?
Could it be a smaller fuel tank version of the W10? Are there any high fuel usage races remaining on the schedule? Canada is a high fuel usage track, which others are similarly comparible?

Nothing is new. It's a detailed shot of Merc's diffuser and floor stays. The kiel probe air flow sensors are seen on the right.

Translation (via Google Translate)
As written a few days ago and yesterday in the preview, Mercedes brings a revised cooling of its PU to Germany and, most likely, a new chassis. Marko (Red Bull) is also of this opinion: "I heard that Mercedes will bring new chassis and cooling

Interesting that the centre looks like it could also be a bearing to support the shaft.

New crash structure around the sidepod (curved upwards instead horizontaly connected to the vertical vane as showed photo from the last race in Silverstone)

Old spec:

New, carefully shaped mirror mounts

Jezus, they are going full on B-spec.

Have to say I think the livery looks horrible, especially on the HALO it looks like something that has been chipping paint for 20 years.
