Today's unveiled Mercedes AMG F1 W09 resembles a lot its sucessful predecessor, the championship winning W08. And this is no coincidence, as team boss Toto Wolff reveals. However, there are some interesting changes to come this year with the new car.

Not to throw dirt on the previous posters, but here's a shovel analogy:

Silverstone is a square nose. Baku was a round nose.
Draaaaaaag
The main purpose of these bargeboards is for managing airflow when the car is on a straight line or when it`s on a yaw? From my side, it looks they are quite draggy from the lateral point of view ...
I wonder if they want to use a particularly fancy camera but to do so they need to make it be part of a mirror assembly?
It's in exactly the same spot from what I can see. The two pictures are at a slightly different angle. You can compare the placement of things with other reference points; e.g. the T-wing intersects the "77" in the same spot in both pictures (in the middle of the horizontal line that makes up a "7").atanatizante wrote: ↑06 Jul 2018, 13:53Is it me or they just moved a little bit backwards that T wing?
