New side pods, new floor, new barge boards. Among other things.

It’s basically a new car. Have to imagine all of that has been in the pipeline.

I find it interesting that he calls them updates. I would have thought it was more likely just another concept idea.

I would have thought that even Mercedes would struggle to get NEW discovered concepts or copied ideas through their processes inside of a week. It’s surely more likely that this was their plan all along.

Lets wait guys. I don't see "Heavy updates", merely touches here and there.

This new package (and it isn't "merely touches here and there") is being discussed in the W10's own thread.

Yes, noticed that. 1.5s faster than any other S3 time so far this morning. And then trawls around in S1 and S2 well "off the pace". Mercedes are definitely playing around.

He simply cut the chicane.
