Mercedes AMG F1 W03 (pre-launch speculation)

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.

Some sections are just not there at all like the nose 'bump' if there is one.

THIS LOOKS Ridiculously LONG. Seriously does.


Anyways Narrow nose,more weight towards the rear,sharper/pointier car than W02 & possibly Oversteery considering how the weight distribution will possibly he.

W03 SHOULD SUIT MSC. Isn't this the type of car Michael wants??

If there is a inlet behind/above airbox, then the sidepods will be narrow(looks narrow from above), maybe like the Ferrari F2012.
I just hope that they'll have something of their own on the design of the car.

for me it looks like a undercut for the sidepods.

By the way hi to the forum :D
That picture is tricky too. The top edge of the sidepods are curved, but are likely flat in real life, so the inlets are hooking forward like the W02. This makes the intake look thinner and more oval than it probably is.

Hey guys! Don't be mad! This picture at least half a year old and it's the W02. I know it because I use it as my website background for more than 3 months.

From the teaser the car looks very long. i hope that it will be fast.
