He looks so chill behind the wheel. You'll never be able to convince me that he's not a major development advantage for Mercedes with the input he gives engineers.

That's why they pay him the big bucks

Yeah, I was too lazy to do Googles. I honestly like the new rear wings though.

I think overall it's going to take getting used to for me. The Aston Martin shakedown videos, it looked weird from the straight on shots. But yeah the radiused corners on the rear wing looks strange.

I think they're fly. My issue are with some of the noses.....and the liveries. Alpine went from the flyest one last year to the 2nd worst this year. Merc went back to Silver. It's low key boring, but this is the first time in years that Ferrari is my favorite looking car.

The Ferrari is a close second for me. I’m probably sounding like a homer, but I like the Mercedes car— although I would have preferred they stuck with black or done a gradient. The packaging of it is phenomenal. Ironically I see the Merc v the Ferrari like Ferrari vs Lambo road cars. The Ferrari looks far less extreme but is so well engineered it still performs the more radically designed Lambo

Packaging difference vs RBR

 

[Maximus Odinson]

RB looks positively fat compared to the Merc.

Some are speculating that the raw carbon panels are removable to give a similar long undercut like the Aston has. Someone also did a CFD test of the "typical" sidepod vs the Ferrari style wide sidepod, and the Ferrari style supposedly reduces drag. But since these regulations are centered on generation downforce from the floor, I'd imagine that getting bodywork away from the top of the floor would be a focus of the teams.
