Mercedes AMG F1 W05

High rear. There also seems to be a huge cooling outlet on the right hand sidepod, but it seems to have some equipment visible inside it which is a little strange. EDIT: Nevermind it seems to be a tyre temperature monitor http://www.formula1.com/wi/enlarge/sutt ... 29a164.jpg (Note the camera hole)

More than cooling outlet is some kind of aerodynamic cover for some sensor.

The green light we saw under the T cam of W05 according to Mercedes (I asked them on Facebook and this is their answer):

That would be the ERS light, used to warn mechanics / marshals that the system is live.

EDIT: All cars have it this season, right?

Yeah, as the ERS is more powerful the warning light is up on top so marshals and mechanics can see it easier.

VERY impressive. Reliability is most important.

Not if it's reliably the slowest

In all seriousness, the car has put in some impressive mileage today, looking forward to the next two days to see what they can get out of the car

This car is sooooo nice. Really nice and detailed front wing, an excellent side pod and rear area. Nice rearwing endplates, an interesting diffusor as well. Compared to other cars it looks really neat and solid. And how well nico`s helmet suits the car`s colour scheme. Remember W02 launch?! Three years later i feel comfortable with merc right away.

Could have been over 100 if they didn't had to waste 2 hours this morning. Very reliable car and engine. I think they can now start focussing completely on setup and performance overall.

My mistake, 97 laps.


True, but they have issued a statement of intent. Hands up if you wish you had a Mercedes engine. Id say all but the Ferrari works team would have their hands up
