Mercedes GP W02

[djones]

yeah I agree the M5 is a bad example but I have seen much better, renderings where you can hardly tell its not real.

I mean when was the last time you saw a film?

Avatar - apart form the fact they are blue etc, the textures and everything are borderline real life. Thats a movie as well, not a single still picture.

Another 5 seconds on Google and here is a better one that is even better than that fake W02

Mate its the W02, rendering or not. Fruktose just made some easy cash.

Feel free to call me any name under the sun if it turns out this was not the W02.

Looks to have quite a big "windscreen"...IF indeed that is the real car and I too am not convinced...

[raymondu999]

FFS guys. The real thing will be out in the next 24 hours, won't it? What's all the fuss about? But then again, this is F1T, so I could be wrong to doubt the fuss

Looks like an evolution


W02 has TF 110 front wing

Looks like an evolution

Aren't the radiator intakes the same shape Red Bull used in RB6? They are triangular. It's a guess though.

[myurr]

Front suspension angle looks steeper as well, confirming the higher nose. That area underneath the snorkel looks very podgy... wonder what's going on there?

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

To my eyes this is no evolution. The nose is different as are the sidepods.

The side pods intakes are pretty much straight off BGP 001 and also very similar to Mclaren MP4-24. Here are pictures of the macca to compare. Seens as tho it was a KERS car, Mercedes will have noted how Mclaren used their design and may have incorporated this into the W02.






Red Bull nose, Mclaren sidepods incorported for KERS(best Kers packaging of 2009) and can you see those sideboards on the merc? are they even legal?

[mith]

Where are barge boards (or what's called that thing, which appeared as a mirror mounting)? I hardly believe they won't use it. Every team has it.

[i70q7m7ghw]

Really, another question about if barge boards are legal? YES. People ask every year...

[volarchico]

The 50 euro wager from djones and frukost makes the anticipation for the release even THAT much more exciting! And JET, I still say it's the TF110's nose, not the Redbull's.

You mean the Side pod deflectors, yeah its missing those also, I call fake on this one if I'm wrong so be it.

no it doesnt. its very similar to the one merc ran last year, if not the same.

Its TF109 picture.

TF110 nose is very similar to W02.

Thanks for clearing this one. So barge boards would be those small triangular things on the floor in the same area... I'm learning all the technical language from this very forum, so from time to time I'm still little confused. But what's more funny, I don't know proper names for most of the things in my native language

But going back on topic, I remember Brawn at 2009 was one of the last teams to adapt those deflectors, but I don't see them ditching it.
