FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
I was too early, still 1 hour to FP3.
looks like it could rain today, dark clouds
It's rear wheel "steering". Mercs experimented with this at the end of 2018 (excerpts from Italian Motorsport)
How many Mercedes experiments: the W10 simulates the rear steering wheels

The silver arrow in the first test session in Barcelona tried the basic set-up: the front was chosen for the push rod strut, while behind it worked on four steering wheels and the height from the ground. The real Mercedes will appear next week.
The second analysis concerns the front suspension: the W10 has two configurations. The more traditional one was preferred with the external bracket of the push rod strut that is added to the pivot with which the upper triangle is not only raised, but also offset from the lower one.

Mercedes engineers have worked hard to gather data on the two front suspension options, while behind they have focused on two other very important aspects: steering wheel simulation and ground clearance. . According to the rumors of the paddock there were a couple of ZF technicians to support the engineers of Brackley to find the right set-up of the "steering".
Let's be clear from the start: it's all legal, because the engineers of James Allison would work on the gray part of the regulation, namely on all brake-by-wire tolerances, engine maps, differential management and resilience of the suspensions. The (difficult) combination of all these elements would give an important result that would facilitate the entry of the arrow in the curve of silver, allowing a greater speed in cornering. The image we posted above is rather eloquent about the behavior of the rear tires at the entrance to the chicane in Barcelona.
If we add to all this that on the W10 were made of ground clearance tests with the car that has also traveled with the bottom parallel to the asphalt and then get to the usual value of Rake (1.2 °), it is easy to see how the silver arrow he shot in Catalunya was a sort of laboratory car.
In these days both in Breckley and in Brixworth will be analyzed all the data collected and from Tuesday, again in Spain, we will see a W10 in a more projected capacity at the Australian GP ...

nope
It's not how start but how you finish.
Disagree with the nope.
All the teams will have something similar to rear wheel steer, just not as advanced

I believe if you read the vagaries of the rules, active 4-wheel stealing is prevented passive is not. A lot of the teams have been doing a small amount of it passively for a while, the question is to what extent is Merc working towards.
Mercs reverted back to their old spec mirrors.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Cool condition, Current track temp 28C, during FP2 yesterday it was 43C.
Temps cooler today.

Croft saying Circuit de Catalunya & Hockenheim could miss out next year, replaced by Zandavoort & Vietnam

flat spot
usually good sign when Seb finding extremes in FP, we`ll see
and Charles just keeps his level, he did surprise me this year, he is great
