Mercedes W17

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Hadn't realized until I saw these pics, how 'simple/vanilla looking' the design of the keel/T-tray on the W17 is. On other cars there are so many surfaces, cuts and bends. It's so elegant on the W17.

More complex looking, doesn't necessarily equal more performance. The idea is that each piece works in unison and in synergy with each other.

Of course, hence the word 'elegant'
