Mercedes AMG F1 W03 (pre-launch speculation)

[PhillipM]

Not sure if it's just the blurryness fooling me, but the sidepods look tiny, which is a good step...

Photoshopped some images on the shakedown video.

Here are the results.

Is it just the light/stickers, or is there an air intake over the rear of the sidepods on the side of the engine cover?

It could possibly be the new AMG logo.

Seeing the same thing, looks like some sort of weird bump.

I think its the exhaust exit, in which the Ferrari F2012 has done.

Could be, I can't really see a reason to put an intake there.

Looking at that little pic on the front page here, it looks like Merc is having a little bit of burnt bodywork syndrome too.

That's the W02.

This thread has almost double the amount of posts as any of the other new car threads. Is this because the majority on here support them?

I'm rooting for them because i'd love it if MS could win one more title, i still think with a competitive car he's still one of if not the best, even at 44.

It's official :

[MIKEY_!]

17 pages in one night! I suddenly have an urge to troll.

Looks like this thread won't make it to 200 pages before it gets locked in lieu of the post-launch thread. Kinda disappointing. LoL.

The McLaren post-launch thread is already on its way to 70 pages. Gonna have to make up a lot of ground once the W03 is finally officially launched in Barcelona.

HAHAH morning guys! we'll make it to 200 pages by 21st

200 is possible anyways, what do we think about qualifying times this year due to the duck bill?

Similar to last years cars or possibly time lost/gained.

I'd say a slight loss, as there's no EBD
