Ex-F1 driver Romain Grosjean believes Mercedes have made some “very intense choices” and “very bold moves” with the deveꦇlopment of their 2024 challenger.

Mercedes unveiled a revamped W15 that differed greatly in appearance from its two predecessors last week at Silverstone, featuring a revised sidepod des📖ign and a new push-rod rear suspension layout.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s final Mercedes F1 car has been labelled as the “most 🐟good-looking” on the grid by Grosjean, who has heaped praise on the team’s designers.

“I think it is the car, with the Red Bull, I’m the most intrigued to see on track,” G🧜rosjean said on his YouTube ꦡchannel.

“I think there’s some very bold moves. There are some very bold decisions made on the car. Look at that front wing and that big scoop. It does re🃏mind me a lot of the 2006 F1 cars that I used to be in love with… and then t🙈hose sidepods.

“They went for very small entry to get as much as🐻 𓃲much flow as they can under the sidepods.”

Gro❀sjean is particularly “excited” about the design of the W15’𓄧s front wing, which he says is “very intense”.

“But I’m very excited about that front wing, very excited about that sidepod entry, the front wing design, with a lot of very different plate sizes, flap si📖zes,” the Frenchman added.

“That front wing is very intense. Very, very loღaded, so they must be very confident in the rear downforce because there’s one thing that is very easy to do in Formula 1, is create a lot of front downforce – you just put on a big front wing and you’re going to have all the dow🐻nforce in the world you want.

“But every flow of air that hits a Formula 1 car hits the front wing first, so if the air doesn’t go exactly wha𒀰t you’re planning on getting it after it hits the front ܫwing, you are not going to go anywhere – and that is a key element in every Formula 1 car.

“I must admit they are very, 🐭very intense choices on that car, and I’m excited to see what it does.

“I’m really hoping to see Mercedes back fighting at the front with Ferrari, with👍 Red Bull, with Aston Martin, with McLaren, with anyone basically, I want everyone to be fighting.

“But I♊ think in terms of everything we’ve seen, everyone seems to be quite conventional to the points that’s on a Mercedes that is very different and very u𓃲nique.”
