Horner has his protest ready. It wouldn’t be Mercedes without some kind of innovation that no one else has noticed in the rules.

But it must be relatively easy to copy or they would have shown it before now.

If it's visible then we'll see soon enough.

Of course it could just be a ruse to take teams efforts away from looking at the usual details (diffuser, bargeboards, brake ducts and so on) for a bit longer.

Curious to see what the new PU yields too. Sounds like they’ve found something more they can do with it.

Like I’ve said, it’s hard to imagine them losing the whole of their 1s advantage from last year. Should be an interesting weekend.
