Floor Edge - Performance, Local Load - Extending the forward floor edge flap rearwards - Increasing the extent of the high cambered forward section of the floor edge wing increases the local load here, increasing forward floor load.Mercedes hope their updated floor will be worth a tenth of a second in performance time.“It’s the last big one,” Russell said about the upgrade. “Altogether, full focus is on ’24 back at the factory and in the windtunnel and the design office.
