Mercedes offers peek at 2017 car

Mercedes has offered a sneak peak at its 2017 car, set to be launched tomorrow.

"The first thing that stands out when you look at the 2017 cars is the striking delta-shape front wings," Mercedes says in a release. "Increased from a span of 1650mm to 1800mm, these swept-plane front wings, arrow-like in their design, are mandated across all cars this season and are designed to make the cars look quicker visually.

"Aesthetics aside, however, the aerodynamic interaction between the front wing and the tires is critically important, one of the many things which teams absolutely have to get right.
