Mercedes W14

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.

Always find the gap then use it.

That's the Ferrari and Mercedes floor then in Monaco. Only Red Bull and Aston left from the top teams.

You realise that rival teams already have better pictures right? :lol: This is for our benefit to see what is going on under the fourth fastest car

Very RedBull 2022-esque but interesting detail at diffuser throat .

Goned are the days when floors had silver bullets though

This just feels like one of those dreams when you suddenly see yourself you're completely naked in the public.

Still looks kind of basic to be honest especially in terms of the underfloor fences.

The floor entry definitely seems more.voluminous to me vs the W14 though.

Yes. "we" still lack detail in the vertical strakes. RedBull had this so fine tuned last year. Twists and curls and notches very fine detail. I honestly can't see Mercedes beating RedBull in this era. I just don't see it, unless some silver bullet is found.
