Mercedes GP W02

[JaymzVsTheWorld]

It is the sexiest car on the grid for me. The W01 was ugly as sin, but this is lovely.

I agree, it's lovely. It's simple looking like the Red Bull. As a McLaren fan it makes me worried!

Have to disagree. This car is ugly as sin but it seems to be working well for them. Good to see the old boy up where he should be.

I'm no fan of the Mercedes either. Definitely not the prettiest car on the grid.

But I'm hoping that this car will perform good, so Rosberg can score some victories this year.

I hate to be part of the majority, but I am this time with this car. Most do in fact believe this is the prettiest car on the grid. The front 3/4 view above shows its organic flowing lines while so many other GP contenders look almost awkward and rather like science experiments.

They use two kinds of sidepod openings. One of them is quite complex and interesting

this year's car looks really good... hopes that it lives up to its expectation...

Schumi's time during yest session looked good... hope that the team can build on this...

[Ferraripilot]

I was wondering the same thing. What are those???

[vealio]

The openings look more like an emergency solution, not?

[kenji8]

Mercedes goes to the makeshift holes in the uprights.

[mach11]

IMHO it might be to cool the K.E.R.S unit... if placed there to add to the cooling of internal components...

The different paint job of the sidepod covers in comparison to the central part of the car might tell us that there´s a different solution to come?

Schu had a interview with BBC where he expressed concern regarding their pace. Was this prior to him running in Jerez?

sounds like a repeat of last season then, but there isn't any fatal flaw with the car that anyone has talked about yet unlike last year
