MERCEDES NEEDS NO EXTRA SUPPORT

Mercedes also had a revised vane installation on the W06’s rear end (compare red arrows) at Suzuka. The blue-coloured element, which had already been revamped ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix and post-race test, was previously attached to both the car’s bodywork and floor. Now, it is solely mounted on the sidepod outlet.
