Almost the entire Formula 1 grid has taken a lunge at concepts seen on the Red Bull in recent years, but Mercedes still does things its own way.

This is proven once again by some of the design choices it has made with its latest challenger, the W15. That’s not to say Mercedes hasn’t taken notice of trends that have emerged over the past two seasons, or that it has clung to the zeropod route for a third year running. But rather than copy and paste the inlet design from the Red Bull RB19, as many others have, Mercedes has taken a different approach, likely learning some big lessons from the B-Spec configuration of the W14.

But as is now almost universal, the shelf-like bodywork extends back from the halo to the rear cooling outlet, which is directed down towards the beam wing.
