New machine "MTR05" of the Manor began running from February 22, 2016.
This team this year, become the Mercedes of the power unit,
equipped with the Williams transmission and rear suspension.

Photos of "MR05", please look at the F1-Gate.com.
The following is my opinion.

Of the front wing cascade there is no linear and ingenuity. It might be diverted from the last year.
The front of the rear airflow as long as not to match the vehicle body evolved,
aerodynamic performance is not exhibited.
If you were to divert the old front wing, it is not a work of F1.

Manor this year, commented scheduled for introduction of the short nose is not.
Short nose and long nose, a big difference in the aerodynamic performance is thing that there is no,
but F1 is to pursue even a little bit of difference.
Their is for immature harvesting technology of aerodynamic data,
than the difference in the wind tunnel and CFD was not out?

Line from the nose underside to foot box, but a number of curves rather than straight.
This would impair the efficiency of the front wing,
the kinetic energy of the air supply to the vehicle body downward.

It seems deflector does not exist under the monocoque, which in would be a problem of aerodynamic performance.
This is fatal.
The monocoque under the side of the deflector, and the effect that prepare the disturbance front wheels stir up,
it is effective to turn the airflow to the vehicle body downward.

Wishbone front suspension has a strong drop angle as viewed from the front, there is a high front roll center.
Not to tilt after the upper arm, a substantially horizontal, it does not seem to consider too much anti-dive geometry.

Vanes surrounding the side pod front, the upper is a gap.
However, last year, even if you are using this type, it has not evolved.
The side pod upper surface of the front end, was finally installed to suppress fin a lift.
The purpose of the high side pod, rather than because of the improvement of L / D,
but as has secured a margin of cooling performance.

And a mirror of the stay, the fin in the back and forth,
but the wing cross-section of the direction in which the lift.
Here that's positive pressure, and a negative pressure because the path of the mirror behind the airflow is disturbed.

The apex of the side protector, marked with the fins of the triangle.
Induction pod, aerodynamics is not a priority, it has become this shape in order to pass the load test.

Technical Director John McKim.
Chief aero dynamism cysts, from Ferrari Nicholas Tombazis came to Transfers.
In addition, also has joined Pat Fry had been fired from Ferrari in 2014. He is a consultant for engineering.
However, as long as WATCHING MRT05, it would not afford to say that demonstrated the first from the force of the year.
It is difficult for the machine to break away the tail ender.
If the machine is not evolved during the season, it might lose to Haas.

Driver Pascal Wehrlein, and, Rio Haryanto.
