Would I be right in thinking these wings are far less adjustable? Looks like the whole lower portion is moulded in place and has no adjustment at all? So it’s only the top flap that can be moved to change downforce? Seems a big change from previous years where it looked like there was multiple slats that could be altered or removed/added. Does this mean the entire whole wing will need multiple versions to change between differing tracks? Maybe that was always the case but I’m just wondering how this works now compared to before.

Merely seeing people over-dress (wearing hoodies, etc.) in high-20 degrees C or 20s generally makes me feel slightly warm.

I guess this is Mercedes’ ‘chainsawed’ less draggy rear wing? Methinks all teams are going to be running less rear wing this weekend anyway, no?

Yep! Albert has a good comparison. Who knew Toto would literally take a chainsaw to the rear wing!

Lol speaking of red, looks like LH is trying to get into a Ferrari now after all. Mercedes might be seeing red, seeing LH in all that red;)

He’s basically sold himself out as a clothes model in the paddock.
I think most people would rather keep their dignity instead of even more money, but hey.

Hulkenburg looks ready to go! When does he find out if he’s racing or not this weekend?
