Mercedes W16

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.

Yup looks like the older spec…

Edit: Or is it? I’m looking at the lower wishbone and it looks like a hybrid between both the old and new one. Could be just the angle, not sure.

What are the strange markings on the tin? Is that a part of the tin construction? This was not there before.

So Mercedes actually retained their extremely undercut monocoque flancs that helped them make the infamous 2022 'zero-pods'... interesting..
.. hence the huge sidepod undercuts (a different kind of 'zeropods') and the high and massive shoulders behind the driver/halo, (the fuel tank gets squeezed upward)...
