Mercedes AMG F1 W09 EQ Power+

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.

Dear Charlie,

There are two extraneous airfoil shaped extensions attached to the W09 mirror. In keeping with the prudent and prescient precedent laid down earlier this year, we must all, fans and experts alike, remain vigilant against the ever-looming threat of spiraling catergory-5 development cost vorticies ever building off of our shores, which could lay waste to millions, if not billions, of pounds, or flops, and doom us all to a backward-looking battle from which the sport was lost. And all for the want of a winged mirror.

Mercedes running asymmetric cooling either side of the halo's rear fixing locations?
Have they done this every race? Is it due to lap direction, corners numbers, whats the benefit?

Looking at Mercedes' front wing, it looks awfully simple compared to Ferrari's, RBR's or McLaren's... even Renault...

They probably run different radiators in either side pod (coolant rads, inter coolers, oil coolers etc.) so each assembly requires different amounts of cooling
