Nicolas Carpentiers’ technical review of the first half of the 2016 Formula One season includes rare, quirky images so you can virtually stay inside the teams’ garages during the summer break.
MERCEDES – A WELL-HIDDEN SECRET
The image above confirms the very original positioning of the Mercedes intercooler on the W07, which F1i revealed last June.
