Mercedes W17

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.

Yeah, in comparison to China, is see maybe some slight remodeling where the upper element joins with the end plates. Also change to the profile of those little wings that stick out of the outside of the end plates..
i think it was just the old wing :D you can see there is no flow conditioner on top of the top-end plate element.

Was it Audi who first did a “double-decker” type of floor edge? Or maybe Alpine, I am not sure. Seems to have taken some inspiration from that.

A full-blown aero package, then. Everything other than halo/engine-cover/sidepods are modified.
