Don’t worry, there are way more changes to the car that are strangely unlisted that we can and cannot see.

Turns out many upgrades are not listed for a few teams.

Lower engine mode for Merc, compared to others.

what were the speed traps?

@FDataAnalysis

- RUS had high drag and also weak ERS deployment on several straights (lower PU mode)
- HIGH-SPEED GRIP (Downforce) - Mercedes' cornering is excellent, yet McLaren still has the edge under braking

Red Bull and Mercedes are trying to close the gap to McLaren with upgrades. These are rather small but targeted development steps. Mercedes has already adapted the shape of the front wing to what will follow in Barcelona in a stiffer version.

Interesting that they are bringing two new wings in three weekends.

No I believe there is confusion about it. They're not bringing another front wing, this is the wing that will be used once the TD is place. Why I say that?

I seen the car ride a curb in FP1 during a replay and it was far stiffer, way less wobble than their previous iterations.

That's odd. Why run it here and lose performance benefits of a flexi wing for 2 races. Even Monaco would have been somewhat understandable

The team knows way more than any of us, and thought It was best to do it 2 race weekends ahead.

[f1isgood]

Not sure but if the front wing changes are somehow significant I think we will see it with Mercedes first as they seemed to flex a lot before and now as SB observes, have reduced flex. Maybe the other parts of the car had to change to compensate for some potential loss.
