I don't know what a Zendya is but my butt would be in Bahrain. RUS found it important enough to be there.

Just received my 4th mail , regarding a Mercedes without side-pods ...
And I read the revolutionary word CCS !

•CCS = "Chemical Cooling System"

Simulations showed a 1 sec. faster Mercedes with CCS !

Yeah ...My brain actually has to work like Google-Translate .

But as you can see , sometimes it fails badly and Google-Translate really s@cks !

On the other hand : I understood the situation completely

Roger that !!!

He looks awkward in every photograph with a female. It's always "this is my gay friend" vibes. His instagram posts give it away further.

I don't want to come across as if I'm trying to put him down for it. I don't have any issues with anyone's sexual preference.... he's just gay.

I would have got Zendaya pregnant on the spot.

So his flight was delayed back to Bahrain but let's just ignore facts.

Also zendaya is literally with Spider-Man so maybe she's not interested him Lewis.

Holy smokes Mercedes pulled it off. The car looks insane! There is essentially no side pod, and the inlets are tiny slits. The only thing better than under cuts is nothing in the way.




If the performance gains are as good as the rumours, it's likely not going to be close racing this year, it'll be Lewis vs. George for the title.

As a huge geek for this tech stuff I can't wait to see and learn more about this design, and if this design really is the fastest like i said before I'm willing to say James Allison is the best F1 designer, year after year Mercedes has innovated while everyone else has been sleeping.

Testing has officially started, heard HAM is late and Mags will do the afternoon session when the Haas will be ready.

Lolol

You guys can freak out about drivers, I'll geek out over cars.

Mercedes never fails to do something crazy awesome! Hope we see more goodies from all the teams, this is the only time of the year I can really enjoy F1.

More pictures because the first one didn't do it justice:

[M5Rick]

Mags has said he was shocked when he got the call yesterday, the Dane is having a seat made up for him. Had to leave his family suddenly to do an afternoon Haas test session.

Image from the front, you can barely notice the side pods

[MontyB1]

Ah can't wait to hear what the rest of the teams have to say, Redbull yes they will be venting especially from Karen Horner, but can someone record Strolls view, he will be spitting feathers.

The Ferrari isn't looking quite so game changing with its kiddy pool sidepod design anymore.

Yup horner was already complaining as noted by the sky f1 broad cast team, he believes mercedes has some illegalities. LOL of course he does, that's the typical thing to say when you can't think outside of the box anymore - the last time redbull did something fantastic was the blown diffuser. After those days redbull is just trying to compete via banning their opposition. Redbull was also complaining about their car being too fat and asked the FIA to increase minimum weight, and the FIA might actually do this and increase the weight by 3KG.


Other than that, the famed "Newey" side pod isn't so special anymore and this really was the talk of the paddock last test, neither is the ferrari side pod - and I was really impressed by this concept. I really thought mercededs were caught out this year with their really basic side pods, but nope turns out mercedes really are the masters of thinking outside the box. This concept really is insane - and it doesn't seem too be having issues with heat thus far and it is decently hot in Bahrain right now.


If this merc concept really is that good, then those brazil "rocket" speeds will be nothing compared to the already low drag 2022 cars + the merc with no side pods reducing drag even further. While those teams with massive side pods will probably be feeling the effects of drag.

[F87source]

Ross Braun just said that the mercedes concept is very interesting and extremely impressive. He said that it was very innovative and a team shouldn't be punished right away for innovation, he said that the FIA seems to also be ok with the design. So there's that.

Just just watched an interview with Horner and he said none of those are my quotes and was completely non comital on anything relating to the update so make of that what you will.

I will say though that MANY of the cars are bouncing a LOT still down the main straight one because of the surface but I think they are all still looking to hone the suspension settings for height and more I suspect yet.

Oop guess someone mis quoted Horner, like I said F1 is full of click bait BS so you gotta be careful of what you hear till you actually see it happen.


Yup I've seen alot of bouncing too, I'll get some videos once theyre on YouTube.

[M5Rick]

So are Merc going to try do a cracker lap before the morning session is stopped b/c at the mo the 13 is looking a bit of a handful and the 18 is going great guns.
