Mercedes W08 Speculation Thread

[FrukostScones]

Car is over 5.5 m long

How'd you work that out? I'm not doubting you, the thing looks massive. Just wondering.

A quick Photoshop scaling of the over head shot


Car is little over 8 wheels long, a wheel being 670mm

Wheelbase is 5.5 wheels long

it runs on wets today and those are 680mm

anyway

Sauber says their car is 5143mm

The bargeboard area is aerodynamic pornography, it looks 2 years ahead in development to anything ive seen so far.
Cokebottle is insane as well.

Red Bull, your move..

The concept is quite honestly 10 years old...



That's more an indictment of the sport, really. I can't believe it's taken so long to advance to the present.

There's something funky going on with the mirrors. Someone kindly investigate please!

Well what could I add here that hasn't been said, noting... its clearly the most advanced car (so far) and if the rumors of outstanding PU improvements are true than this potentially be the car to beat in 2017. I like how the front of the car toward the sidepods is super developed and how much clear space is on the floor towards the back.
