Mercedes' final roll of the upgrade dice was on show during free practice on Friday. USGP 🇺🇸 F1
The Silver Arrows have endured a season which has fallen below their expectations, with four rounds remaining for the team to avoid a winless campaign, something which has not happened since 2011.
The front wing has been given a performance upgrade to improve flow conditioning, to be achieved by a reducing the camber of the front wing tip, while additional slot gap separators have been added. The floor fences have also been tweaked for the same purpose, via a small alteration to the floor fence camber. Mercedes expect this to improve the flow quality to the rear of the W13 ‘which in turn increases diffuser load, whilst maintaining front of floor load’.
