Mercedes F1 W05 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.

I guarantee someone at Mercedes did that already, just to check, and was patiently waiting for it to be posted so they could have a good laugh at us :)

Having said that, black line along nose is interesting.

Irvine:"If you don't have a good car you can't win it, unless you are Michael or Senna. Lots of guys won in Adrian Newey's cars, big deal. Adrian is the real genius out there, there is Senna, there is Michael and there is Newey.They were the three great talents."

Doing a quick google image search, that picture is from a test in Jerez, of the W01 driven by Schumacher. It's is wikimedia since 11/2/2010.

EDIT: I didn't mean the blurred pic, just to clarify :D

You keep saying to read the article, but its just someone's words and a crappy video tease. With no still photos or independent media they can say and show whatever they want, and fans are so starved for information they'll believe almost anything. Sorry I'm not a believer yet.

What's the thing that looks like a pole running alongside cockpit and the top of the nose? It sticks out into the air so it's definitely not the livery. It could be a piece of testing equipment but I've never seen anything like it.

Many teams have used the installation allowance at Silverstone before shipping the car to the winter tests. So it's not unreasonable.

I can't recall what Merc have done in previous years.
