Mercedes AMG F1 W03

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.

may just be the photo angle, but I looks to me like there's a side pod revision - less down-swoop along the edge where the extended silver panel is today; slightly flatter top profile...

After 50 laps theres not going to be much in it, unless Merc are also planning to enter the Paris-Dakar.

I quite agree. They went from the ugliest most simple front wing to the sexiest front wing of all of them.(minus their ugly simple version of the r flap)

The last pic can't be from yesterday, the burned bodywork was replaced by black-heat resistant material after the end of the first Barcelona test.

Please read this!!

The car thread is for discussing features on the car.

The team chatter has been moved to the team page - a total of 41 posts!
:arrow: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12100&view=unread#unread

Also, repeated images have been removed.

Please note editing and moving posts does take time, so we may need to click delete (much quicker) next time we get that volume of off topic comments and repeated images. Especially the comment is only one line.

Thank you for reading this! Now back to the MP4-27 ...

Because it looks cool, is a lot faster than airbrushing it, and makes bugger all aero difference.
