No more teardrops at Mercedes as F1 aero innovation is effectively banned
|
Mercedes' Formula 1 cars will run without clever aerodynamic devices in Austria after being told to remove them. What did these innovative blisters do? And how much time did they bring?
Last week’s hot technical topic was Ferrari’s rear wheel rims. This week, on the eve of the Austrian Grand Prix, it’s the Mercedes diffuser, specifically how the team has been obliged to remove the extra teardrop-shaped blisters atop its diffuser which were introduced in Montreal. This follows the feature being questioned by Ferrari to the FIA.
It’s a very interesting topic which really shows the ingenuity of these two teams in particular. But to properly understand what’s going on here, you need a bit of background.
