Mercedes F1 W05 Pre-launch Speculation

[Faustino]

I actually think the nose is going to be more similar to the Williams? Can see the prongs quite clearly there.

Only the end of the nose will be narrow, the main body will probably just slope off like the mclaren and ferrari.

This is a very rough thought on how it goes, camera winglets in green.

I'm almost 100% confident that this outline is wrong. Those camera pods would be illegal.

I am slightly less confident (but still pretty confident) that we're looking at a Ferrari style vacuum cleaner nose, but with a narrower tip.

These are clearly camera winglets, what else could they be?

Yes, they are clearly camera winglets, but they're coming off the side of a steep cliff in the nose, like Ferrari's, not sprouting off the top of a gently sloping nose.

Yes, the nose appears to drop very sharply down after the join to the chassis, maybe more so than the ferrari.

Unfortunately my rubbish outline would not show the drop, I simply put a green mark over the top of where they are in the picture to highlight them. Maybe the camera pods are the same position as the Ferrari ones but as the nose drops more abruptly they can mount them on slightly longer winglets.

I hope that this is not the real car because this looks like the 2013's car, same sidepods, same airbox intake. Just the livery changed. I really think it is the 2013 car with 2014 nose and rear wing

I think it is the 2014 car, and even if it does look similar, you can bet that they have been hard at work at it. They wouldn't have been sitting around on their laurels all the time. They've almost certainly spent a huge amount of time and effort on this car and i hope that it will show.

That is a mule 2013 car with a hacked on 2014 nose and rear wing. The paint job is completely different and the Schumi hashtag is a clear indication that the black is a tribute to Schumi from his last team.

So do you think that tomorow we will see exactly the same car which is in the vidéo?

Not too bad! Now can we get a bigger version and is that correct?

[theformula]

The rule changes have brought about a complete farce in terms of how these cars look. We're going to have ant-eaters, a flaccid penis, a shaved fanny and a walrus chasing Barbara Streisand around lap after lap.

Something has to give!

Oh my god, that is possibly the funniest post I've ever read in my life hahahaha!
