Why Mercedes F1 W14 hasn’t ditched this RADICAL Design!

More IN DEPTH content for members: CFD Images courtesy of Kurt and Josh at 03:20 I sat down with a former colleague and F1 Aerodynamicist João Ginete to discuss ALL of the possible benefits and downsides of the radical Mercedes Zero-Pod Design. As my background is mostly vehicle performance and race engineering, having an in-depth, but easy-to-understand break-down of the zero-pod was really fantastic for me as well. But the big question is, will Mercedes ditch this design, or do they feel that the benefits are there, but they just need more time to develop it? Oh Yeah - João also hosts a (mostly) Portuguese-speaking F1 podcast called Domingos Podcast - Check it out: I stream F1 Race Watchalongs and analysis here: 🟣 Twitch: You can find the rest of my content and socials here: 🟦 TikTok: @BRRRAKEF
