Very interesting. If I had to guess, Mercedes spent tokens on the rear end. But what did they do?

Like RB, the hot air exits have been pulld inward and especially upward to clear the way towards the diffuser as much as possible.
Pretty sure it was confirmed last year that Mercedes would NOT have to spent tokens to get rid of DAS. So if they did end up spending tokens at the front of the car, it's likely for something else.HungarianRacer wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 15:27Source?godlameroso wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 15:11Mercedes uses tokens in the front to compensate for losing DAS.
Mercedes already introduce a very similar design as part of an upgrade last year.
Yes, at first glance that is the case, now the new packaging of the PU looks more central/vertical but please have in mind that Mclaren has a chassis made for Renault PU and small changes were allowed where the PU and the gearbox could not fit physically so its only natural that Mercedes will have the best packaged rear end of all.Starkblood80 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 16:17Is it me or does has Mercedes managed to keep more floor area at the back compared to say, McLaren?
Why? They ran with both DAS and non-DAS racks last year so the non-DAS rack will just be carried over. No need to use tokens.godlameroso wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 15:11Mercedes uses tokens in the front to compensate for losing DAS.
