Mercedes W09 Speculation Thread

[astracrazy]

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Merc have come up with. The cars we have seen so far have impressed me with there ideas etc.

Looks like they have just taken the W08 nose tease picture from last year and resposted it as the W09. It looks just the same, angle, shape, and livery wise.

There's clearly a halo mounted, no it's not just a repost of the W08 pictures

I was specifically talking about the nose.

A pronounced bulk on the second "7"

Isn't that something like this?



This is W06 by the way. They introduced it in Canada that year as part of a bigger cooling package for the ERS.

Mercedes has a recent history of changing noses either in preseason or mid-season, it wouldn't surprise me if they launched the car with a late 2017 nose.

Is it? Thought it looked like the split intake effect in the dark?

Ah well!

interesting how they omitted the W07 even though it was a dominant winner as well..... cue the Rosberg hate....

It is, if I'm not mistaken, for a video of Hamilton and his championship-winning cars. Hamilton didn't win a WDC with W07, so that's why it's not there.
