Mercedes AMG F1 W05

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.

Yes, I remember when the cars this team produced were lacking in that department.

Look at all of the small additions all over. It makes a difference. I don't see anything hugely different, just a lot of small additions.

I haven't slept for two days so my eyes might be playing tricks on me, but is that an asymetrical front wing?

In the central section of the diffuser, Mercedes have exploited the starter motor rule by using this 'U Shape'. However, it looks like there is a cover over part of the 'U Shape', could this influence aerodynamics by creating more downforce due to the air being fed from the coke bottle to this area, however wouldn't it have a higher drag coefficient? Not something that is a concern in Monaco of course.

angle of perception, none of that is not asymmetrical in reality:)

Its just the paint that is asymmetric.

BTW should people be worried that there's a bomber pilot around that hasn't slept for two days?

Interesting to see the similar position of the inner and outer flap of the end plate.

The upper nose seems slightly different than the lower one, check the orange sticker: doesn't the nose edge seems a bit sharper and pronounced?

So the most dominant car also brings the most updates consistently... Not good for the competition.

This car is looking better every race. The amount of aerodetail is incredible. I bet Newey is taking some pointers.
The new monkeyseat looks detailed as does the diffuser and aero parts right above it. Is that Paddy's work? or is Aldo Costa responsible for this?

Gorgeous. =D>

Is the rear wing white, or just very silver?
