Mercedes W15

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.

There is no cannon at all around the exhaust in front of the beam. One can see even the diffuser from this angle.

Just perspective. Look where the sharkfin curtails and then look left - the cannon exit is pronounced

Ok! I meant a very thin engine cover. But as @organic said it just the perspective.

Autosport ran an article that said the two suspension arms at the top (next to 44) were fake on the render and not possible.

But they are on the real picture above??

No, they are not on the picture above. I don't think it is legal. When testing start tomorrow, I won't be surprised if we see a slightly different car to the launch

No, it looks almost horizontal like part of an A-arm relative to other cars running the pushrod rear. Strange.

Agreed, during his W15 aero analysis kyle.engineers pointed out that Merc are still using an old rear wing and the same diffuser as the W14, so very well might see a different car, at least in a few places come testing
