Albert Fabrega | New front suspension on the Mercedes. The front leg of the top wishbones is in a higher position.

Mercedes explains the six upgrades on its W14 F1 car: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mercedes-explains-the-six-upgrades-on-its-w14-f1-car/10473665/

"Front suspension: The top wishbone forward leg inboard pick-up has been lifted. This change results in improved positioning of wishbone wake, which in turn improves onset flow into the sidepod, therefore improving cooling performance.

Floor Fences: There has been a local load change in fence camber, which results in an increased local load and improved flow to the diffuser. This should deliver more rear downforce.

Sidepod inlet: A wide and high sidepod inlet helps improve flow to the floor edge, which results in more floor load and also improved flow to the rear corner.

Sidepods and bodywork: The increased bodywork width increases local downforce and also improves the flow to the rear wing assembly and rear corner.

Rear wing: The increased camber of the rear wing flap results in increased rear wing load, which in turn drops the pressure behind the car - thereby increasing rear floor load.

Rear brake duct winglets: A second cascade of cake-tin winglets added to the additional winglet array adds local winglet load. This also drops the pressure behind the lower suspension legs, increasing load on these too. ..."
 
That's a lot of changes! Some circuit-specific but it will be interesting to see the results and which ones stay.
 
That williams is uaf. The macca as well.

Saw something with a red wing, wasn't the williams?

That marina looks great. Miami should employ whoever it was that painted this one.
The track may act as a car park but it certainly doesn't look like one.
