Mercedes AMG F1 W09 EQ Power+

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.

I'm sure it's just normal comparison... but it helps with coming through the field.
Yup! If Bottas is going to take penalties and start from the back the shallower wing is definitely going to help. By the way, RaceFans.com said that Mercedes will decide overnight whether to fit new power unit parts to Bottas's car.

Don't know. There are no pictures yet besides the one showing the RW. Have to wait a little longer.

The summer break will, by the fact that the factories are closed, be a little limiting in opportunities to do updates...

They have brought the front wing they tested in Hungary [with two "r" cascades instead of one]

Looks like some development in the bargeboard area from what I can tell here.

That would be a major upgrade if that's the case.

How can you tell?

Looks like their way around rear tyre overheating issues.

Seems to me they followed the new trend with an elongated slot at the edge of the back of the floor: they enlarged the last slot or it was the same?
