If this is their nose, its the shortest possible one.

Didn't they already have the shortest possible version?

[Thunder]

The Nose looks exactly like the W06. Not sure about the FW. So all in all undecided if W07 or not.

[NutritionFact]

Youre right, of course.

I compared last years nosepic with this one, looks lil shorter and more smooth...

But maybe its just the light or the darkness

Shakedown today. Someone in the area get out there with your camera, please.

Still not 100% convinced. ^^

If it's a new Nose it is only ever so slightly different. The W06 Nose hat a protruding Tip too.

The second image is NOT the new car. Notice it still has the camera stalks, which will be prohibited this year. The camera pods have to be directly attached to the car. Mercedes will not have gone through the trouble to make a strong enough construction for the new car's camera stalks, just to be removed anyway at testing because they cannot use it during the season.

I agree that the image is not of the W07, however my understanding is that the camera stalks are banned from 2017.

I checked and you are correct. It's from 2017 onwards, so my apologies!
