Mercedes AMG F1 W04 (pre-launch speculation)

Hahahah!
Good Lord.

Say it aint so!

no I have no idea but honestly it looks like the old car they've had since 2011,
it doesn't help they have the ugliest livery ever in formula 1 either.

hopefully what we see is a dummy car and we see something new and fresh in Jerez.

site is back up again!!! they say "Keep retweeting #F1W04Reveal and the car will be unveiled progressively between now and Monday" Monday?? well if it's going to be 5th again for them this year then they will have to have something big for 2014 otherwise they are out by 2015!

OK, Monday it is. I missed the point of this "tweeting" thing anyway.

What a joke

[AMG.Tzan]

Maybe they will have to re-name it to F1 W03B !! No pull-rod front from what i can see!

[Mika1]

Ok, thanks Merc. Forget this year, no radical changes, then it's hopeless. This package doesn't work and it won't work in the future.

What a piece of crap!

Here we go

Calm down people, let's wait until Monday.

Calm down people, let's wait until Monday.

exactly..all you have seen is some shadows and you think you found the HRT replacement..

[Nando]

The only semi-interesting bit is the sidepods. Can´t really see what exhaust it is or what that 2-pieced thing really looks like.

I am a huge fan/optimist, but if you don't change a concept that failed three years in a row, yes then I don't expect much of it.

You can't figure out what is on the car by judging those couple of "pictures". On Monday we'll see the real thing.

Obviously it looks like the W02 but there is many differences. Front wing pylons are much wider than W02 but different than W03. And I d'ont remember Merc using that type of vanes under the nose. They used many differnt designs before but not simple rectangular ones like that Afair.
Bargeboards look similar to W03 but they are not the same.
