Mercedes AMG F1 W05

The front wing mounts (walrus like) look tiny to me. Any small nudge and the front wing will be off!

Thoughts?

Well spotted, Vanja. Let's wait for a real recording then.

The left looks very slightly longer than the right. I admit it could be the angle.....

Just saw someone had already posted it on the previous page, my bad!

What are these strange bulbs at the back, near "Petronas PRIMAX"?

That sound in the end Feels like it's from an 80's science fiction tv show. Awesome ! And the engine growls like a monster ! Not disappointed, none at all !!!

Could be just testing equipment, like sensors.

Thanks! That was my initial thought too, but doesn't it mess aero even a bit? And a strange place to have them too.

You can hear the turbine spinning up under ERS power. I guess at that point it's pretty much a supercharger?

Anyway, on the noise, I think Adam west would be proud.

Engine Like Ferrari last year. The top one fits the head of the engine. Bottom probably exhausts.

This car looks very boxy, not organic looking at all. Very simple/squareish car, not impressed.

"Slight" asymmetry would be pointless. The lotus nose isn't different lengths for performance reasons, its purely to meet the regulations, which means it's precisely 50mm offset (correct me if the length is wrong).
