Mercedes is exploiting the writing of the rules saying the driver cannot control any aerodynamic changes other than this legal change to the rear wing, which can only happen at specific times and places. And the team says the driver doesn’t directly control the flow of air forward, it’s just an indirect result of a driver controlled switch that is perfectly legal. This year several teams, the latest being Lotus , have filed official complaints against Mercedes saying the team is breaking the rule to counter these driver assisted ducts to the rear wing. The Mercedes AMG team under the direction of team boss and F1 savant Ross Brawn is generating the most headlines with its version of a duct system introduced a few years ago aimed at making cars faster down the long straightaways. Formula One’s governing body has so far dismissed all three challenges against Mercedes, so as was the case in 2010, many in the racing community are expecting the other teams to follow suit and develop their own ducting system to the front wing. This year new rules dictated some interesting changes to the way many of the cars look, including the drooped nose seen on many teams (Mercedes above). When the angle of the rear wing is changed on the Mercedes racer, a small opening is exposed that allows air to enter a duct.

In an effort to promote its new vehicle, Viano, the German luxury automaker, Mercedes Benz has recently run an interactive campaign on Wall ’s digital network in Berlin underground station Friedrichstrasse.
