Autosport reports that Mercedes will use a design concept introduced by Ferrari in 2017, in an effort to “improve flow quality into the radiator inlet”.
“Scheduled to be unveiled at Silverstone on February 14, the W11 will be an evolution of its predecessor, as the team looks to iron out any imperfections and bring even more performance to bear,” write Autosport’s Matt Somerfield and Giorgio Piola.
“Having scrutinised its own weaknesses and closely studied the opposition’s designs, Mercedes has taken a design concept introduced by Ferrari in 2017 and refined it to suit its own package.
“The intent of this design concept is to improve flow quality into the radiator inlet and reduce the negative impact that the front tyre wake has on flow into and around the entire sidepod structure.”
