    Not sure as I don’t follow developments that closely except for obvious changes or what I see on TV.

    Pretty sure @jgonzalesm6 would have posted something on this or can comment.

    Similar but Merc seems to have a bit of undercut still on the bottom of the side pods. This looks so much like the side pods on a Dallara F3 from the 80’s.

    So according to Motorsport Italy, the Ferrari upgrades for the #EifelGP :

    - new floor
    - changes to the bargeboard area
    - adjustment on the rear suspension, positive feedback from both drivers in the simulator

    For Imola/Portimao:

    - new flow deviators
    - newly designed diffuser

    I can't remember where I heard it. Either on here in our forum or on Sky, but I'm pretty sure RP has copied the underfloor of the Williams.

    At Sochi Binotto promised the new diffuser for this weekend.

    In any case I just want them to lose the awful, squared-off nose they’ve been recycling for 3 or 4 years now. Even if it brings no performance improvement, and to at least even pretend they’re doing some f-in thing. I’m so fed up of seeing that nose.

    Cold and wet. Looks like it may be an interesting race, hopefully not too many safety cars.

    A member of the Mercedes team has tested positive for coronavirus before this weekend’s Eifel Grand Prix.

    Mercedes said the team would not reveal the identity of the person affected but it is not one of the two drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.

    A spokesperson said the situation was “being handled in line with FIA protocols, working closely with the FIA”.

    Best,
    Sammy
