Yes, indeed. I should have mentioned that he left some to McLaren upon is departureMclaren had fuel pump problems yesterday i believe
Same as in Abu Dhabi but with a completely new part.
^?
The car has clearly some thermal design issues at the exhaust exit.

Supposedly they use some heat-reflecting coat on the cars to avoid the carbon fibre getting burnt, but they don't apply it for the first test (that way they can pinpoint where it gets burnt, so they save weight).
So that's probably normal.

Brawn: we will test all the exhaust versions, even the one we used last year. At the moment the RBR exhaust solution is in our CFD-simulator

Can´t see any change in the paint job frankly, will have to wait for better images.
Could be that they only painted the new parts as this looks like the old wing.

I only noticed the bigger Mercedes logo on the engine cover.
Seems there probably won´t be a big upgrade package for Mercedes. At least a visual one.

The shark fins are new though.

Paddy "Yoda" Lowe will arrive as early as June.
Hopefully the early start will benefit the team in some way this season.

Hamilton running with sensors on his front wing in FP1.
Its a little camera that looks at the tyres.

Horsepower I think they're all about the same, as they're all homologated.
Mercedes is the strongest in high-revs / straight line speed.
Renault seems to be the best in medium revs / low-to-medium speed corners.
Ferrari is very strong in low-revs/grid starts. Has very good pick-up in low revs.

thank you, so there is no chance, ur saying, that these years engine of mercedes would have 100hp more than any other ? I know about 2014 but i think i read somewhere about this year Mercedes engine

It could have more BHP in different areas (straights rather than corners) but as standard I'm pretty sure they're all about 750 BHP
If you have more hp then another team you have it all the time.
The horsepower does not care if you are in a corner or straight.
Today´s Merc engine has the most horsepower out of the lot.
Getting good starts is not down to engine, it´s down to gearing and clutch bite point.
And diff etc. But not horsepower.
