Is it my eyes or does it look like a single element between the nose and the wing?

Wheelbase looks even bigger tbh

Very helpful.

I realise they were already the best so refinement was all that was required, but if that’s the W09, is it wrong for me to be underwhelmed? Only because it is rather similar. No doubt it’ll be a winner.

In the video they say that they are practicing on the 2017 show car with some 2018 elements

Makes sense

missed that bit, didnt have the audio on as im at work

Looks like a natural evolution of the W08, which is logical. Just from the wet weather tires I cant tell if the W09 has higher rake or no.

The W09 is performing a low T-wing ala Williams

Hamilton said the same thing on Instagram. An evolution of last year's car it is

Merc are opting again for no blown axle

looks boring

looks boring

I agree. Very unlike Merc to have a car that basically looks (from that pic) like a copy and paste from last years car, apart from a few obvious changes/additions.
