This would be a good shot to use to shutdown the RBR fanboyism thats are already rearing its head because of one photo.

would be a good shot IF it would show the car in the same situation. but it doesn't.

good point.

i don't know which member feels the need to downvote this and label it "moron" as it is seriously uncalled for.
he brings a very good argument to the table.

it IS not the same situation AND visually you see it's different. the RB front wing is much lower to the ground
than this MERC wing is. AND by the looks of it, the RB is even lower. AND this is a corner, as it seems, so this
is actualy physical forces pushing down on the car, not a result from aero thoughts.

You kind of miss the point, trying to make performance claims based on two photos taken completely out of context is well, dumb.

[Manoah2u]

i don't personally see it as performance claims rather than a visual difference between one team and another and to try and explain what we are seeing.

sidenote, seems i've missed some bold fanboi claims on how a certain matte blue car is going to wipe away the entire field and history of f1 cars . same old same old

I got a nostalgic vibe from this chimney+T-wing combo. 22 years ago the MP4/10 was distinctly similar.

Merc with double t-wing on this morning.

Double T wing

[Mr.G]

Looks like tilt sensor on it.

Is this placed on top, or one below it? I can't see if it extends above the fin

Hamilton does a 1.21.7 at the start of a long run on soft tyres.

According to Autosport .

09:52 "It's interesting that Hamilton has produced the fastest time of the day so far at the start of a long run on soft tyres, and it gives us a potential insight into what the Mercedes could be capable with on low fuel. If he did that 1m21.7s with around 80kg of fuel on board that would be worth around 2.4 seconds - so a 21.7s becomes a 19.3s. If he had a race-starting fuel load of closer to 100kg then the potential lap time could be even faster. It's unlikely Mercedes would do a long run like this on a much lower fuel load, as teams need to learn about the tyres when they are under the most stress, and that comes early in a race when the cars are heavy."

And that's relevant to the features on the car in what way?

[NathanOlder]

That car is capable of that lap time dip ---. Some people just come on to dig and poke at others and its things like that that make this forum annoying at times. My post has far more relevance than your sarcy reply pal.
