Bite Size Tech: Mercedes W06 Front brake scoop (final pre-season test)

Mercedes have added small inlet scoops to the face of their brake ducts today.  The scoop is much smaller than the one used on the W05 but puts the team at a juncture in terms of their quest to utilise a scoop-less design.  The presence of wire mesh is owing to the scoops locality, with a real chance of tyre debris (marbles) being collected by it, potentially causing damage to internal components or nullifying its aerodynamic/cooling intent.
