MERCEDES STREAMLINES ITS SERRATED BARGEBOARDS

Mercedes’ serrated bargeboards (which are part of the ‘floor W’) have been streamlined. There are now five vanes instead of six, while the bargeboards have lost one fin, from ninth previously down to eighth.

However, the rear crash structure deflector has been further segmented to become a four-element setup. Finally, one can surmise that the Mercedes ERS cooler has been modified given the change in the engine cover design where the radiator is located.
