Mercedes W07 Speculation Thread

[OO7]

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

Don't worry, remember the power of 'The Delete'.

They probably will be testing on Silverstone; they did so during the previous years, using a filming day. There is a chance though they have to cut that out due late changes to the calendar.

Wonder if they will spy on their own car just like last years Winter just to show the public eye a view of their car pre-testing.

I hope we get some sneak peeks like we did last year with those faux Mercedes orchestrated 'spy' shots.

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

No, it's tomorrow. Check the Silverstone calendar.

They are 100% at Silverstone tomorrow, they've already been there mid-week to setup the garage.

My doubt about this video is that, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I can see camera stalks on the car on the back of the video...As the fellow members pointed out on previous posts, the camera stalks are prohibited this year...So maybe the car on the back of the video isn't W07.

That change doesn't come into effect till 2017!

Please read the last 2 pages before posting - we keep going in circles.

I have no clue honestly, but I do remember Wolff saying that it would take experts to spot the differences between WO6 and WO7. And it's blurred, so might as well be the new car + the front wing looks indeed longer...

Could be wrong, tomorrow we'll know guys. And if not, definitely by Sunday

I think it is the W07 in the background. If you look at the colour of the vertical turning vane that flanks the sidepod, it's silver with a black lower half. On the W06 this was pretty much all black.

The sidepods also look more undercut (or just the trick of the light?) and the Petronas sponsorship on the side has been slightly repositioned.

One thing you can almost bet for certain is that the nose/front wing will be identical to the W06 for at least the first test.

We'll all find out soon anyway!

The colour of the vertical turning vane looks silver because the Petronas symbol and the Petronas name 'propping' the symbol are blurred, this has caused a smudging of light colour (white/grey) in that area.

Any further confirmation they'll be at Silverstone today?

Toto said that few new things are going to be visible on the first test, with more parts coming for the second test. Merc used to have a complex front wing at the first test, especially with the W05, i expect same pattern with W07 with a Melbourne front wing
