Mercedes AMG F1 W03 (pre-launch speculation)

Is this really W03 or W02 with a new nose & FW???

Come on the rear looks much shorter than the pic we saw. Sidepods look fat & bulky like last year. Not like the super Sleek Sidepods the picture showed.

You dont think it would look like this?

yes it's also possible

[raymondu999]

They can have "Shakedown" bar the Filming & PR stuff. I thought they had days or kms alloted for filming & PR stuff.

In the regs shakedowns are viewed separately from filming days

What article are you looking at.

Im looking at article 22.

Article 22 just says that promotional days have to be done using Pirelli demo tyres though.

Can someone clever determine the dimensions from the tyres etc please

ESPNF1 has had it confirmed that Nico Rosberg is shaking down the new Mercedes W03 at Silverstone today #F1

Why is only Rosberg shaking down the new car? Where is Michael? Doesn't this give Rosberg an advantage? He is going to test for two day in Barcelona & also tests today, so he get a day more of testing than Michael?!

Double floor??

I was thinking the same thing - those sidepods look very unconventional, they look as though they may have a very heavy undercut

[Mr.S]

Well Nico debuted the car last year too & I dont think he will too thrilled with MSC debuting the car. Anyways this is pretty meaningless. 15-20 laps at best maybe???

In 1 day of testing they can do 100-140 Odd laps. Carteham did 139 laps.

I doubt it.

The rear looks very firmly placed over the floor with very little space in between. But the sidepods are weird & similar to W02. I expected a sleeker design

what are you talking! "similar as w02" and "weird" contradicts itself.
