Mercedes W13 Speculation Thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Roll over hoop looks the same as W12.
Recess in the top of the monocoque looks like it’s for the front halo mount. Remember the metallic bracket has been recessed below the bodywork on all cars since it’s introduction.

Make sense, grey is back, with still some black

And of course, FIA model... so just livery presentation #-o
You're assuming it's legit, then?

Lol that is not legit. It looks terrible. I don't even think the teal is correct.

Yes, I mean, I assume this is the FIA model with 2022 livery.

We already known that they were going back to grey, and possibly let a bit of black.
This livery in picture make perfect sense in that regard, even if this is the ugliest of the grid, but this is often the case with the Mercedes / Petronas colors that are not matching

Surely the guy here hiding the invisible boom mic on the right should be a bit of a hint no? :lol:

Looking at the shadow of the work units, the shadow of the rear tyre does not seem right.

It's already been confirmed that this is a fan-made render. I can link the tweets if you want.

Google image search....

It's a photoshop of a picture taken at the 2021 W12 presentation. Nothing to see here ;)
