Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 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.

Apparently 50% of the car will be new.
Which will probably translate to about 5% max externally, given what we've seen so far. :D

Merc throwing money at it like it’s going out of fashion. Impressive to say the least! A budget cap through is surely needed as much as I’m in awe with their rate of development

I assume it was because the mirror was already connected to the sidepod underneath for Williams? Making the other one purely aero.

How is this allowed, six element front wing? If it is legal, why not split some other flap tips?

If you take a cross-sectional slice at any point along the span of the wing, you would only see 5 elements or less hence its legal.

inner parts of the frontwing elements, they have six elements by moving the top element more to the outside, and dividing one element into two, rb introduced this idea some gp's ago

Upgraded from two (or two and a quarter if we include the split :)) winglets to three.
