the Magny Cours FB Page just uploaded a rather interesting photo.. rear wing endplates with what seems like fins at the bottom

The exhaust is ruining the side pod shape! Btw another team adopting the McLaren style exhaust but no sign of triple DRS

This one?



Another one, behind the Force India:

yes with the trailing edge "fins"
and you can see the COANDA EXHAUST!!!

FINALLY! they've got it..

Those aren't fins those are sensors to measure airflow and pressure of the diffuser but it's the 1st time I see Mercedes using it a good sign?

That looks like an almost exact copy of the McLaren solution. I am pretty sure their exhaust work from day 1; they took their time to observe what the others did wrong and which solutions do work. This one looks good to go.

If they can get the exact same speed increase from it, I'll grab it with both hands!

Agreed! let's hope the whole concept of "Good things come to those who wait" is true in this occasion.

Btw.. the photo about the rear suspension.. does it look "modified"?

Also.. is it me, or does the W03 look like a completely different car in this photo?

Again from Scarb twitt...



Interesting on that photo i noticed unusual test equipmend i mean that long fin on each side of the rear wings (in yelow oval)... In my opinion that may have some pitot sensors on it? Image is very blur maybe are this just air vortices.. I m not 100% sure... Please Does anybody now or have better image to unrave that "mystery"... thx

Leave never mind! i find better pic and yes it is some sort of "pitot" sensor "bar" on each side and betwen of the rear wing endplates..

Is it just me or did mercedes reduce the sidepod entrances? This is the italian version:


Also are those inlets just behind the bulge at the nose?
