last paragraph.

still looking for the site where the cooling slot position was mentioned explicitly by him.

they could run coanda exhaust today since it wasn't that hot

but seriously, they have a lot work to do during winter

btw. when does Lewis start working for them? tomorrow?

[marcush.]

sure they bagged a decent points finish in brazil (for their standards) but would their coanda have performed better under those circumstances? we and they will probaly never know....
I´m not sure about the car ,but I´m sure about their development and ability to react quickly decisive and proactive...

When is the speculation thread starting for the W04?

When is the speculation thread starting for the W04?

When we near winter testing i suppose.

Things i want to see on the car:

Advanced FW
Advanced Diffuser
More Aero-parts on the bodywork, much improved Aero-package
New exhausts
More rake
And last but not least, a device on the car that other teams will protest against.

And a expression of Button's face when the W04 gets pole by 0.5 in Melbourne.

- perforated gurney across the entire edge of the difuser (a la RB, Ferrari, McLaren)
- rear wing end-plate strakes that extend down rearward of the diffuser
- fw end-plate redesign

The above are all areas of continued and intense development by the whole paddock, let alone the top teams - but haven't even been tested (!) by Mercedes!

And lets see Michaels face if this happens.

Will be difficult to evaluate, completely another car. The abolition of the DDRS, the potentially upcoming DRD, and a hopefully advanced coanda exhaust alone will change a lot.
Even if you compare Hamilton and Rosberg it will be useless, because it will be much about who can how cope with the W04.

Schumacher has nothing to be afraid of, he has well proven his skills.

[Vasconia]

For me its not a matter of comparison between drivers(though some people will do that, and its stupid), its what you feel when you retired tired of struggling with a car an suddenly the team builts a race winner car.

[raymondu999]

Technically - it already was a race winner - China. And technically - had he started on pole in Monaco - he probably would've won there, considering that he was looking quite competitive. I know he retired - but how much of that was the whack from Grosjean?

[Neno]

Team who in last race of the season going to test how tyers are working, and last 5 race is without a single point, dont expect on front of grid in Australia, much less on pole by 0.5 in Melbourne.

[Intego]

Depending on the ability of Hamilton to develop the car. Ok, no miracles to be expected in just one month till winter testing, but maybe he'll bring in some important input on the coanda exhaust.

[Nando]

Developing cars is the engineers job. Developing the setup throughout the weekend, yes.

[Intego]

So Schumacher is an engineer?!
