N smikle, start a new thread if you wish mate. This is W02 chat right here.
Just putting the idea out there bro.

I don't like Ross brawn or Newey that much.

On the packaging of the W01. it was tight in the plan view, but the profile of the rear was tall and bumpy.

Looks fantastic. The rear is very clean, and is that pullrod I see?

Yup another very tight tapered rear. Not quite as clean as Red Bull but pretty close.

This is the first car to have gills from the start. All the others just have the exhaust and normal openings back there.


JET,
You're going to need a cold shower after their launch! jk

Im writing this on my IPhone in the shower Mx

Can someone confirm it has pullrods? I cant see clearly on my phone. Thanks in advance guys.

Yes it has pull rods.

Very interesting implementation of a pullrod.
Looks like they have make it work aerodynamically with the low beam wing. Also looks like a bit of falling rate from the geometry. can only confirm once theres more pictures of the layout but that would be very interesting. Since most of the rear suspensions are now springless, couplked to the rising rate of the air/oil damper/springs hey iuse currently it should provide a near linear rate for excellent traction.
This Merc could be a goodie.
Nice work on the rear end but disappointed they dropped the short column roll-over head protection bar.

German Racing Teal. Very classic.

Compare the pullrod bellcrank location to the RB7. The W02's is much further back. Further back even than the pushrod bellcrank locations we've seen thus far. Doesn't seem ideal for tightening up the rear cross section.

so we have the 2nd pull rod so far?

interesting the big grills near the suspension...
the nosecone it's a red bull rb6 copy XD

Car looks fab! Looks modern and I have a good feeling!

Zero keel as opposed to single keel with the 01. Interesting...
