Optingfor a brake duct that
protrudes inboard more than
theFerrari design, the Mercedes

upper wishbone on a raised ‘horn’.
The linkage bracket fits in behind
the duct, while the upright face
is pressed in.

TheFerrariapproach
Ferrari uses the brake casingto
channel airflow outwards, aiming
to replicatethe blown axle effect
(inset) that was bannedover the off-

hot airfromthe braketo controlthe
rotational flow from thewheel centre.
