Poor quality, but one of the first pictures of the W14 from behind, you can easily see the ridge created atop the center line and going into the cannon exit… Also, the cooling exits located there:
W13 for comparison:

Of course, auto motor und sport also asked Russell the crucial question as to whether the old bouncing problems reappeared on the first run. Surprisingly, the pilot didn't want to go into detail about that. With the words: "We'll see about that in the next week," he dodged the question briefly and succinctly. Great confidence sounds different.
It was also somewhat surprising that Mercedes only published two driving pictures of the route (see gallery). And both show the new car from the front. Otherwise there were only a handful of photos from the presentation and a few computer renderings that were not very detailed. It almost seems as if Mercedes doesn't want to reveal all the cards yet.
Indeed. They have a water slide in the penthouse, dumping right over the beam wing.Sevach wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 23:24https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpBPyvUWIAE ... me=900x900
That is very peculiar.
That explains the lack of photos, as I read they completed the 100km's.pursue_one's wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 23:07Its just a demonstration day.Venturiation wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 22:30From AMUS

The vertical inlet is a cleaner interpretation of the legality regulation than the W13 melted ice cream pod. I don't have a problem with it. They wouldn't have changed to it unless it increased performance.De Jokke wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 23:54Another ugly merc , reminds me of the '96 Ferrari.Sevach wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 23:24https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpBPyvUWIAE ... me=900x900

But Wolff already told it looked like the W13, so no surprise there.
Atleast change the dull nose, please
The first two pictures are not exactly the same scale, but they show an interesting comparison. Definitely more "full" in the middle of the car. To me it looks like there are cars which focus on bringing air to the diffuser (a) from above the sidepodes (Red Bull style), (b) from below the sidepodes (Ferrari) and (c) from the side of the sidepods (Mercedes). Obviously it is not as simple as that, but that make sense to me. Sidepodes and inlet shapes depends on which concept is preferred.bucker wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 22:23https://i.postimg.cc/WzSqdQ6W/image.png

Floors once

I would say zero floor instead of zero pod.
so this is feeding directly the beam wing?Sevach wrote: ↑15 Feb 2023, 23:24https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpBPyvUWIAE ... me=900x900
