Another interesting point in there, going back to a conversation with Diffuser and a few others (IIRC)... It states that the chassis was homologated in December, so design work continued up until around then before the chassis was finalised and probably it wasn't finalised in September as we may have previously thought.
Remember, there where dates for different parts of the chassis. The last date being in December. The part with the tokens, chassis structure and cooling behind the cockpit, needed to be agreed upon in September.

Front wing, not structural and aero was the last part.
Aero? I thought aero was free to work on
Sure it was free, not sure why I said that. I don't remember what was in the last part.

Came across this post on reddit. The team has certainly come a long way since 2015 in terms of sponsors (and everything else to be honest).

That comparison is just massive. In 2015 with greatest respect to them we had 2 old fellas driving the car with sponsors vanishing from our 30 year old and slightly out dated sponsor portfolio
5 years later in 2020 we had 2 young drivers with a full portfolio of sponsors who are either new to F1 or have returned back after a considerable absence.
Ok this season it’s changed a bit with the signing of Danny Ric- he’s turning into an old man now :lol: (we are similar age :wtf: )

It’s been said before and I’ll say it again well done Zak Brown =D>
Just a fan's point of view

interesting. if the new livery is on already, it looks like the engine cover will remain papaya on top and blue below instead of being flipped around like some clues suggested. I only expect a minor tweak in the livery this year.
Also surprised they didn't rev it higher (don't want to give something away with audio analysis?)

Since they are so far in the build fase, maybe they can finalise and send over to brackley for that nice full car test rig they have :-)

Doesn’t sound as crisp as the Renault, but very happy we’re back with Mercedes.

I'm curious what could potentially be given away with audio analysis, something to do with their exhaust?
