Notice how Ferrari's solution acts on both planes, while Mercedes' only changes the angle of the upper plane (while the lower one remains fixed).
Expect Mercedes' solution to be less effective in terms of drag reduction, but it might produce benefits when in 'cornering mode'.

Formula Data Analysis I can’t quite make sense of Mercedes’ front-wing actuation choice - They’re the ONLY team not exploiting the 30 mm drag-reducing deflection allowed on the 🔵 primary flap, keeping it fixed. 🤯 - They rely solely on the 🟡 secondary flap’s 60 mm deflection. …X (formerly Twitter) Formula Data Analysis (@FDataAnalysis) on X Notice how Ferrari's solution acts on both planes, while Mercedes' only changes the angle of the upper plane (while the lower one remains fixed) Expect Mercedes' solution to be less effective in terms of drag reduction, but it might produce benefits when…
