    Mercedes altered the cascade to the front wing element. More surface area and the vortex is no longer bisected by the wall between the two cascades. Haven't seen the back end of this car yet.

    Mclaren are rumored to have a new front wing but no one has seen it yet.......

    Ferrari have a new triple vane under the nose. That's all from Ferrari today, nothing new at the back end.

    Lotus haven't anything further to speak of that is visible anyway.


    Red Bull haven't any visible updates either, but we haven't seen the car completely put together yet so we're not completely sure.


    great explanation of the MB 'Fric' system from Scarbs just yesterday starting at 17:10

    Is the new Ferrari wing designed to function when tucked under the car?

    It's in the bag for Rosberg IMO. He is a master at this track, his pole time last year was some 6 tenths up on anyone else wasn't it?

    Everyone running lower DF intermediate spec rear wings here, so not quite Monza specs, but not Monaco spec, somewhere in the middle. Similar to what RB have run at both races already.

    He's had a hard-on for Mercedes as long as I've read the F1 section.

    [I believe the Viz still maintains a replacement keyboard stock for me..... Please PM him for shipping details. :)]

    Seriously, I've said many times, I really admire F-piloto's dedication - Right up till the middle of FP1, than it all changes! :)

    [Again, no offense intended, John - Just having fun.]

    There's a race this weekend?
    ;)

    Will Mark slap Seb?

    Will Nico ever forgive Lewis?

    Will Phil embarrass Zo (again)?

    Will Caterham find the track?

    Don't miss the latest episode of Bernie's Follies.

    Now on a new network!

    Will Merc's FRIC work?

    Will Fauxtus' FRIC be even better?

    Will the Cans straight line test prove beneficial?

    Will Mclaren feature?

    ;)

    Ah haa. Merc brought a new rear wing which exploits the loophole that the endplates can also be a small portion of the rear wing. Ferrari, Lotus, Red Bull are the only others doing this.

    It's Mercedes, duh.
    I must admit, FRIC is pretty cool.
