The Tech That Helped Mercedes Dominate The Belgian Grand Prix

Added on Sep 2, 2020

5:28

Description

It's not uncommon for teams to bring new components to the Belgian GP in recent years due to the low-drag conditions Spa requires. However for the 2020 edition, Mercedes brought out the big guns and arrived with a truck load of new parts, ranging from new fins to bargeboards to rear wings and more. Based on the 1-2 finish Merc grabbed, we'd argue that the new aero parts worked, so Jake Boxall-Legge takes a look at the update package using our latest 3D animation of the W11, as well as what Red Bull and Ferrari also brought to the race, with varying results.
