RacingNews365’s Technical Analyst Paolo Filisetti casts his eye over the new Mercedes W15.
The Mercedes W15 incorporates aerodynamic concepts from the ground-effects era and Red Bull RB19, featuring sloping sidepods and a rearward cockpit placement. These design elements make it similar to the RB20 but with unique features like the unconventional front-wing flap assembly. The central section of the front wing deviates from regulations, enhancing airflow and smooth passage to the sidepod inlets. Additionally, the sidepod inlets and gearbox modifications contribute to its distinctiveness on the track. Despite appearing conventional, the Mercedes W15 hides innovative elements that set it apart from its competitors.
