Mercedes W13 Speculation Thread

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.

I posted this video in another thread, but I think it's relevant here because at the beginning it talks about changes to the rules regarding suspension and how it might effect Mercedes approach to the W13.

They all do it though. It's just a matter of how much.

The whole concept of high rake works because of it squatting at speed.

It's because I accidentally posted it in the wrong thread first (The W12 thread) and he replied there.

I deleted it in the W12 thread and posted it again in this thread, I guess mods moved his post to this thread afterwards.

Sorry for any confusion caused.

No worries at all! The video is a really good watch, btw.
