This is true to some extend, especially as the gains are quite small compared to say the double diffuser in 2009. On the flip side though Merc (and Renault) should have scored more points and have been unlucky and we've not seen it on some quick tracks like China, Silverstone, etc so they may gain a little more there.I'm still not understanding why there is so much fuss about the Merc wing.
The Merc wing has helped net the Merc team a grand total of 1 point from 4 starts.
There speed in qualifying has been "okay", nothing stellar.
Their race pace has been average (same as last year), nothing stellar.
So tell me, why all the excitement about Merc's innovation? What have I missed?
The car I would be looking at more closely would be the McLaren.
