Mercedes technical director Mike Elliott suggested the team would bring a different rear wing configuration to the opening race. “We were probably not wearing the wing we wear when we come racing,” Elliott said on the final day of testing. The new rear wing was pictured in the Mercedes garage as preparations got underway on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s season opener.
The single scoop design will create less downforce and drag and should provide Mercedes with a straightline speed boost.
