Mercedes AMG F1 W04 (pre-launch speculation)

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.

looks exactly like MERCAMGFANS proposal, like F1 W03 without step nose and a coanda ramp.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

The hopes are ended. W04 it's only a revised form of W03. They should have risked with a more radical change. They will be nowhere with this car. If the top teams found a second in their car over the winter, Mercedes will be in the midlfield. It's time for Hamilton to start crying and hit the walls with his head for betraying Mclaren. :twisted: :twisted:

That cut is where the previious interaction of the door standed, it crosses the airbox too.

looks like the front suspension is Push-Rood, what going on with the rear wing?

problem is will it be like their road cars...bags of power in a straight line but won't go round a corner properly for Love nor Money...?

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I've been reading your posts for a while now and i'd like to give you my feelings about this new car. first i think that this isn't the full picture of the car, a part is missing at the top so maybe this isn't some kind of new rw. second, the sidepods look quite ok to me, thinking about how the petronas logo is written on them. but,yes i reckon it's hard to conclude from those pictures.

Don't be dumb... The image is cut off, hence the "flat" rear wing and "flat" top of the air box.

Very small changes from the W03, but you can also see they have cropped the top of the car for the W04.
