It's not just sensors but rather they have aero probes in all sorts of places including in the diffuser. None of the other teams have anything like that - some have a few on the exposed floor, for example, but Mercedes have them on just about every major aero component. It's impressive that they are doing this and it's surprising that other teams aren't really doing much of it at all. In a brand new aero rule set, you'd think they'd all be doing everything they can to correlate the design tools and the real car.dren wrote: ↑28 Feb 2022, 19:48I really don't find it very impressive or surprising that Mercedes or any other team has an abundance of sensors on the car.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Feb 2022, 12:28What's impressed me is that the car is always collecting aero data, even without the big rakes attached. Mercedes have sensors on the floor, under the floor, on the rear wing, probably other places too.
It's like they are using the car as a full size wind tunnel model.
Interested to see what they bring to Bahrain as an update package.
Perhaps every other team is hugely confident that they're correct...that could be a big slice of hubris pie if they aren't.
