Mercedes’ new front wing has been tipped to provide the F1 team with a much-needed “significant lap time gain” atไ certain circuits.

The German manufacturer introduced an updated front wing design at the Monaco Grand Pr❀ix which did not feature the previous ‘legality strip’ element as part of a change in development path, with Mercedes still battling to cure the W15’s biggest weak♓ness - its inconsistent performance in both high and low speed corners.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell ran the updated design in Monaco after168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton proposed his teammate should use the only version of the front wing in Monaco. Both drivers are set to have the revised fron𝓡t wing at the next race in Canada.

Analysing the impact of the change, F1 expert Mark Hughes wrote on: "The new wing is entirely re-profiled and has been designed to give more consistent traits throughout the speed range of the car. There is🔜 expected to be less of a balance change through the speed range.

“Around Monaco, which is almost all low-speed corners, simulation suggested the new wing would bring a tiny gain. But around 𒁏circuits with a bigger spread of corner speeds it is expected to bring significant lap time gain.

“Both cars should have the wing in time for the next race, in Montreal, but it’s expected that Barcelona – in tꦯwo race’s time – will show the full benefit of the wing.

“It could be a step forward in hel🎉ping to turn around what has been a challenging year so far for the Silver Arrཧows.”

Hamilton claimed that he lost “two tenths" of a second to Russell in qualifying due to using𒅌 the team’s older fr🧜ont wing specification.

The seven-time world champion qualified 🃏and finished seventh, two places behind Russell.

According to Mercedes’ head🅺 of trackside engineering Andrew Shovlin, the update delivered the expected gains in Monaco.

“All the data we have seen says that it was delivering perfor♛mance, it was bringing a benefit,” Shovlin explained in Mercedes’ post-race debrief video.

“In terms of how the car was feeling, George was was happy with with that and he cou✱ld feel that it was a step in the right direction. So we’re definitely happy with what we’ve seen to date.

“But we will learn more in Montreal and then particularly when you get to a track like Barcelona with a wider corner spee𝓰d range, you can really start to learn about it there.”
