The front wing is adjustable and so is able to move. All teams' front wings will be doing the same thing.
The two cars are running different floors.Stu wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 14:16That photo shows the same floor as the othersJust_a_fan wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 14:14Not surprising.

Not surprising. Running the two floors at the same time gives them back to back comparison data.
I thought they were running them worst and best case - Lewis heavy with a steep rear wing and no DRS, George light and DRS everywhere.shamyakovic wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 15:02Hence why Lewis is bouncing and russel is not
Your optimism is something to behold. I fully expect a podium finish. The rest i think they need a lot more time to fix the issue.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 15:33I'm not convinced that this is a new floor. This is the old floor with the edge cut out. I expected to see an edge wing at least. So fingers crossed they come out with the real McCoy in the FP2 or FP3.
IMHO, there's no reason why Merc would wait so late to put their full spec car on the track.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 15:33I'm not convinced that this is a new floor.

Could be a trick of the camera eye so looking to validate this theory.
But I also saw better videos on this forum. Maybe it was in the Winter Testing 2022 Thread.
It has been mentioned multiple times and it does (as do the others) ...arolls99 wrote: ↑18 Mar 2022, 15:34Does anyone have any videos of the W13 on the straight?
