Williams FW37 Mercedes

[tomazy]

I did a quick comparison photo, too bad I couldnt find a better resolution image of FW37. Keep in mind, that the angle of thepictures is not perfec and that FW36 is going throu left turn at speed, so the loads on the suspension is diffirent than on FW37 on pit lane speed limiter.

Left is FW36 in the configuration raced only in Japan and USA, right is FW37.

That's really cool man.

The thing that immediately jumps out to me is the better use of the brake duct area on the RW37 and the more streamlined integration of drive shaft and suspension arms.

maybe its due to the angle of the shot of the fw36, but it looks like the sidepod of the 37 is 2-3cm lower than on the 36

It's the angle, look at the height of the roll hoop camera.

]Good afternoon . It seems that the team Is still center on the ، aerodynamics

Not much real news coming out of the team of late, which I guess is to be expected with no running. Is it a positive for there to be no massive differences compared to the FW36?

Bottas believes the car is an improvement on last year, and will only be enhanced over the remaining two tests scheduled for the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona.

But as to how Williams will fare, the Finn is unable to say, adding: "There are no massive differences (with the car) to last year, but a lot of positives.

i'd guess he was talking about handling and not about pace/performance (they haven't tested that yet anyway). so let's just wait and after barcelona we should have a better image (for a complete image we have to wait for the first 3-5 races ofc)

Massa said the engine felt less powerful in Jerez than at the last race in abu dhabi.

But the car wasn't in the best configuration at Jerez unlike the FW36 was at the top of his evolution in Yas Marina. It's the same for the PU.

Pretty certain they wouldn't develop an engine with less HP that last year. It was most likely just running underpowered so they can pound around and get as many laps in as possible.

Yes, Pat Symonds keep the same phylosophy than 2014 car. His idea is he can't create an perfect car as Mercedes in all areas because he hasn't sufficient means to it so he prefers to focus on one area to develop it fully without ignoring others areas
