Mercedes AMG Petronas W14

The profile from the side looks very much like the infamous W13.

From this angle, you can see the engine cover is wider and less floor is exposed compared to the W13. I would guess that they have changed the floor. The endplates of the front wing seem to have been tweaked. Just under the endplates are three little winglets which are completely detached from the endplate. It clearly looks like an evolution from last year's car. It is interesting that Toto was saying that the W13 was overweight. So we can guess that they have found a few tenths there. But is that enough? They sorted the porpoising issue last year, hence, l expect they focused on other areas under the skin.

The tip of the monocoque just ahead of the front wing has a pair of little nostrils. You would almost miss them if you are not looking intently.
