Mercedes new front wing, old vs new
(i.imgur.com)
Can confirm. Is a wing!
Could be front one!
Definitely going to need more data points to be sure though
Really winging it here, eh?
Big, if true.
Looks like a very different approach. Here's hoping it's worth a tenth or two.
Well, after 2 FP-sessions, it looks like a tenth or two slower...
From what I can see, it's either going to be a significant gain, or a disaster class, and basically nothing in between. I'd love to see what an aero engineer with automotive experience thinks, though.
So next upgrade(TM)
Lmao
Seems like the diffusers are a bit steep towards the centre of the car. Aero engineer here (though my expertise is more in astronautics); will be interesting to see how this performs. Maybe it's just my perspective though.
Not just the front wing, looks like the nose is straighter and maybe a bit lower overall.
