They’ve certainly have done a good job with Honda power. I’ve found myself following the mid pack more last couple seasons- I hope Haas can get back into the mix.

Hamilton’s first lap in the W11. Not a great angle but I guess they didn’t want to show any of the settings on the steering wheel.

Leclerc is a force to be reckoned with as well, if Ferrari can get their act together.

RP already said the motor, gearbox, front and rear suspension are from the W10.

Looks like the brakes (non listed part ) are too

Judging from what Toto said and Merc just signing a five year sponsorship deal with INEOS, I don’t think this is the case.


They just tested a “trumpet” steering wheel with active toe change, pretty crazy.

Hamilton’s steering wheel raises eyebrows

Yeah the rears are, it’s part of the KERS system

Mercedes explains it in great detail here. It’s an interesting read.

A livery is a uniform, insignia or symbol adorning, in a non-military context, a person, an object or a vehicle that denotes a relationship between the wearer of the livery and an individual or corporate body. Often, elements of the heraldry relating to the individual or corporate body feature in the livery

Racing Point RP20 is almost a carbon copy of last years Merc W10. Lance’s daddy is buying the best- let’s see if he can get out of Q1 this year

More details. Link

Looks like there is no room for feet. Do they have stacked pedals or a hand operated throttle?
