Williams FW37 Mercedes

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.

I don't think they are one and the same, the showcar and the one on the factory photo, the FW and it's support pillars are different.
I think the car in that photo is the FW36 with a cut nose, the FW36 long nose probably bothers pit stop practice, since they are preparing for the short nosed FW37.

And the showcar is the ugliest Frankenstein i've ever seen.

Ugliest? That's harsh, uglier than Lotus twin peaks? Or did you eliminate that from memory :wink:

You had to bring back my repressed memory didn't you :lol:

Still, the show car is an ugly, ungainly thing.
Trying to match the high bulkhead of the FW35 with the nose tip of the current regulations... yuck.

A lot worst than both the "real" FW36 and FW37.

#F1: #Williams will have a new frontwing for #HungarianGP. Just one sample. #Bottas will get it cause he is in front of #Massa in champions.

New front wing for Williams

It is an entirely new concept. Allegedly with excellent wind tunnel values. The Mercedes grands stand model. "We have made some head stands to fertigzukriegen him for Hungary. In fact, he was scheduled for later in the season," Symonds praises its production department.

I don't think this it, but 2 things:

The one on the bottom lacks the sensor, just not mounted yet? Or something else?

Both wings have a ridculous angle on the cascades :shock:
