I think you will see a trend where those still using the exhaust plume to seal the diffuser will run a much higher degree of rake in their setup. It will be interesting to see how the FIA react and what teams will scramble to develop the idea

Idon´t get this, the MP4/27 seem to have more agressive rake angle then Mp4/26.
Newy said that without blown diffusor you should have less rake angle saying that RB8 should have less rake angle then RB7.

Love those helmet cams, wish they all had them. Would be great to know exactly what Button was looking at in Montreal 2011 when he collided with Hamilton for example.
Coulthard wore one in Brazil for his final Grand Prix, so they must have been given the thumbs up by the FIA, but he then got taken out at the first corner, and the camera has disappeared. Sad.

its better than most.
I quite like the line from the tip of the nose down to the fenders (or whatever they are called). It looks more like a silver arrow than any of the previous new mercedes incarnations.

the front suspension mounts look very close to the bodywork edges a bit like the mclaren.
I reckon it might do ok. I'd quite like to see schumacher do well.
