The rear suspension looks revised? I'm looking at the angle of the wishbone and looks different to me.Lasssept wrote: ↑15 May 2025, 20:02https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GrAPhwHWAAI ... me=900x900It looks like mercedes has decided to remove the fairing from the rear suspension.

First and second wing elements on the front wing are closer together, minimizing flexibility. This is being inline with the TD rules in Barcelona.Luscion wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 00:25images from @RosarioGiuliana

NO! I seen this immediately, that wishbone is bolted further down into the chassis. People we're pointing out removal of the fairing, but it wasn't just that, the 2 wishbones was repositioned. Crazy how many people missed thatBrahmal wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 03:11https://i.imgur.com/bPUWA5A.jpeg
Am I seeing things or has the suspension geometry been changed? The angle of photo is a little different but not that much.
Looking at the original pic, a number of fasteners don't appear to have been fitted for whatever reason in both that area, and the top cover over the damper. At least that's how it appears.AR3-GP wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 00:57The fitment of the shroud around the pushrod is very poor where it meets the chassis.It looks like a new part. It seems to have a thicker trailing edge than the old one.

I think the body work is thinner, so it just looks that way.Brahmal wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 03:11https://i.imgur.com/bPUWA5A.jpeg

No it’s not, the rod is in a different location on the chassis. I did a side-by-side and it confirms it.SiLo wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 11:20I think the body work is thinner, so it just looks that way.Brahmal wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 03:11https://i.imgur.com/bPUWA5A.jpeg

If it had moved, it would be on the FIA doc. I think the bodywork just makes it look that way because it's closer to the chassis.SB15 wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 11:42No it’s not, the rod is in a different location on the chassis.

hiIt strangely isn’t in the FIA document but I can very much assure you that the wishbone is in repositioned lower down on the chassis, The Race did a side-by-side comparison with the engine cover and the suspension changes toward the rear has gone completely unnoticed. I saw the angle of the rods look new when Albert Fabrega did the rear wing comparison.
That doesn’t square with me. The primary purpose for the change I’m almost certain is for airflow control with any flexibility changes being incidental.SB15 wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 01:52First and second wing elements on the front wing are closer together, minimizing flexibility.
