Mercedes AMG F1 W03 (pre-launch speculation)

[Ferraripilot]

This wing element has me surprised to say the least.

Henceforth, I will refer to this new 3 element front wing as: MkIa

Subsequent changes to this wing can be referred to in the previous vernacular as modifications arose: MkIIa, MkIIIa, MkIVa and so forth. If in F-duct is installed an 'f' can be added after the 'a'.

Looking at the mp 4-27 the team has gone for a shorter wheelbase whereas mercedes are going for a longer wheelbase .. will have to wait and see which is the right way to go about [-o< ..

Ah, Mercedes had a REALLY short wheelbase last year and were hard on the tyres because of it. The teams will probably meet in the middle

92 pages for W03!! Mercedes is sure having a huge fan base in 2012....

When? Where?

theres something about those side pods that remind me of the Ferrari Type 640 F189

Brawn

When? Where?

it's definitely NOT of Brawn GP001. Nose is wrong, front wing is wrong, nose is higher, pylons, etc. I've no idea where the pic came from but I don't see it looking like anything else out there....

on 2nd thoughts its closer to the Renault of 2009...
Hope thats not the W03.

Sort of close to R30 but not quite.

[gridwalker]

I was thinking R30 too ... Was this from an official site, or just another "leak" (aka "fake").

Unless it came directly from the team, this looks like a reprise of the Sheet discussions from the McLaren speculation thread.

Although I guess with EBD's gone they may feel the advantage of a shorter wheelbase remains
