Williams FW42 speculation thread

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.

I think the car in the video might be the real deal based on the different sidepod/bargeboard deflectors to the FW41.

Despite similar engine configuration, Mercs looks more bulkier than Honda, or it is maybe because of angle

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Agreed.

With the amazing level of visual appeal that the fan liveries attain, I am underwhelmed by the "professional" product.

I think it looked great until someone picked up that can of white spray paint 5 minutes before the launch and ruined it.

Calm down guys, it's obviously meant in an environmental way. You can see the clear reference to the canadian polar vortex :lol:

we'll wait with switching to the official topic until either testing or official, clear pictures have been released.
