MERCEDES AND SAUBER TAKE A LEAF OUT OF TORO ROSSO’S BOOK

Mercedes and Sauber unleashed a new spec of rear wing at the Northamptonshire venue. The horizontal endplate slits, which aim at balancing pressure on both sides and are usually cut within the endplates, now extend outward all the way to the edge. This design clearly draws inspiration from the Toro Rosso setup; it increases the airflow passing through the endplate and helps balance the pressure on both sides even more.
