Mercedes in the slow corners.
Mercedes are using a special rear suspension geometry and a brake-by-wire system for the rear that SIMULATES rear wheel steering; this is also in correlation with the rake of the W10 which has the lowest degree rake angle(thereby lowering the center of gravity) but at the same time has a wheelbase like the SF90.
RedBull has the shortest WB but a higher rake. The RedBull WB and rake angle philosophy is out the window.
Currently, it's not about gaining horspower because IMO, MB have maxed out all the hp along with the deployement of the MGU's.
The W10 is on another level with this suspension geometry and simulated rear wheel steering in the slow corners.
Ferrari can......no need to lodge a "illegality" complaint to the FIA saying MB are using rear wheel steering ONLY to find out how this complex system works to employ in the 2020 car.
It's not how start but how you finish.
