Dual Axis Steering (DAS), which traded straight-line drag against cornering grip and tyre warm-up within a lap
DAS was spotted on television during pre-season testing, ruled legal for 2020 and banned for 2021 in the same breath. The W11 won 13 of 17 races in a season compressed and reordered by the pandemic, and holds the outright lap record at most circuits it visited.
17 races, 13 wins, 15 poles. Hamilton's seventh title, equalling Schumacher, and Mercedes's seventh consecutive constructors' championship.
