This marks a significant update to Mercedes’ sidepod philosophy, which was changed altogether as part 🍸of a much bigger upgrade package introd💞uced earlier this year in Monaco.
Mercedes’ updated sidepod features a more rounded air inlet and more aggressive downwash, as well as a concave lower surface which is designed to incr𒁃ease outwash near the rear floor edge.
These changes are in addition to a new low-downforce rear wing that is circuit spec🍎ific to Spa.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff confirmed the German manufacturer would be bringing updates to Belgium earlier this week, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton also referꦅenced them in Thursday’s press conference.
