This design allows the team to move the inboard end of the suspension leg to better suit the requirements it needs for the optimum set-up around each track.

Most teams do have some level of freedom in this area, but we are usually talking about millimetres rather than the many centimetres of freedom that the solution on the W15 affords Mercedes.

Agreed on both fronts. I liked DAS and imagine a world where it wasn't banned and restarting from a safety car was closer to racing immediately. I guess that isn't necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but it seems everyone would impliment between seasons.

Hopefully they have less setup pains, last year was insanely hot and cold on setup
