That looks like the rear floor is positioned with pop rivets!!! Probably just a cover to disguise things.
Running in the rain gives everyone a great opportunity to 'see' the aero in action with the spray! Very interesting, I bet the other teams will be analysing this in great details.
Great to see the high def image, thanks.
The side pods are totally different to the other teams they've either got it right or really wrong
Personally I love the anti max tyre bursting spikes.
It's this type of innovation that will keep Mr wide elbows in check
Their mirrors are dangling off what looks like a curves top plane and sraight horizontal under plane.
Totally unique

Wasn't there rules about using mirrors as aerodynamic devices? Remember when ferrari attached them to the Halo. I don't know if this has changed in 2022 rules.
Edit: just looked it up. It's legal as long as then can prove the driver can see them. So I presume they can

It appears that the digital render is from a very early set of rules where the wheel deflectors were allowed to be wider!!!!
Some interesting features on the Merc:

So Mercedes want downwash and ferrari want upwash.
I've enjoyed watching this guys videos. I feel like I'm an F1 aerodynamisist now

Just spotted another Merc video - Lewis doing a lap of Silverstone.
In the video you can see the massive flex in the front wing - I give it till after the first race where Merc beat Red Bull before the protests start!
