Mercedes AMG F1 W05

[Powershift]

basically yes

but looking at it i wonder why it took them so long to get it passed the crash test

to get it higher, it must have had to be made shorter as well, that means less material and time for energy dissipation, just my thought

The nose visible in these pics are actually the homoligated "crash structure"

maybe the pylons that are holding the wing were problematic

[siskue2005]

easily the highest and most unobstructed nose on the grid and the best looking nose on the grid

Another point of view of the new nose.

[Anon123]

It's your mind playing tricks on you It's just the angle of the photo... It looks beautiful, it might look a bit odd though once we see the car on track with the nose sitting so far behind the front of the car.

[siskue2005]

You mean to say both the nose are same height?it is only that they have moved the pylon to the front and in the process moved the nose back?

[Thunder]

Yep i think it's the same Height as the Old one too. It's just even farther Back to interfere with the Front Wing even less.

[Ozan]

imo they moved the nosetip back to de-obstruct the air flow to the splitter

[bonjon1979]

New front wing?

[Emerson.F]

Nice

[siskue2005]

they also have the hump below the new nose, i believe they didnt have that before

[siskue2005]

And also the nose is defentily shorter length wise(from the chassis to nose tip)
See the pic below

[ForMuLaOne]

As it is introduced in China, i`d like to call the shortened version the nose the "pekinese nose".

[Just_a_fan]

Revised endplate. One slot instead of two and the single slot is different from the one it replaces.
