Yes, that's new for Bahrain. It didn't look like this in Australia.zibby43 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 19:22Are there 3 hanging vanes now, as opposed to 2, on the Bahrain-spec Merc RW end plates?Morteza wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 15:13https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2v4T2JXgAANR9o.jpg

Here is Australia for comparison. The little winglets (or whatever you want to call them) behind EPSON & CROWDSTRIKE don't look like they project outward as much as they did in Australia.Morteza wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 20:34Yes, that's new for Bahrain. It didn't look like this in Australia.

Had been looking for that comparison angle and you found a fantastic one!dans79 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 20:59Here is Australia for comparison.

Mercedes have come up with a way to slow down Ferrari - gentle prod on the opening lap and it's puncture time!Morteza wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 20:19https://imgr2.auto-motor-und-sport.de/L ... 441387.jpg

You’ll note the deep cutout section which crosses over the face of the drum, taking airflow collected by the inlet and redistributing it for aerodynamic effect out through the wheel rim. Also note the small gridded window which allows heat generated by the discs to escape, transferring some of that heat to the wheel rim that’s in close proximity.
Giorgio Piola wrote:As we can see from this front view, the deeper crossover section is used on both sides of the car, but an asymmetric layout is favoured when taking into account the heat release window. Only featured on the right-hand side of the car (the left as we look towards it), the window is used to help with tyre temperature management due to the predominantly clockwise nature of the circuit heating the outer tyre at a different rate.
Nice shot of the new tyre popper on the Merc.Morteza wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 20:19https://imgr2.auto-motor-und-sport.de/L ... 441387.jpg
