Mercedes AMG F1 W03 (pre-launch speculation)

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.

Could it be possible that the sidepods are like maclaren U shaped pods.. but instead of the U there are more circular in shape at the ends

I'm not quite sure what you mean - like a u-pod shape or something?

From gandharvas pics they do seem to have an undercut and they look very thin and narrow - am I the only one who sees this?

Excellent work, looks a bit less pixelated now. What is the silver beneath the sidepods? Can't just be the livery. Rear looks somewhat bulkier, like the McLaren.

looks like sidepods have multiple channels

someone post some zoomed shots from the rear! Just as the car passes parallel and disappears off :)

Please :) :) :)

whats the extra inlet on the engine cover for?? could this inlet collect the exhaust stream and route it to the floor to have an EBD effect or is it just for cooling?

just feels like giving away the family silver that's all, by analysing every detail

Probably for gearbox/KERS cooling.

We honestly need a CSI photo engineer to enhance these.

If F1T can analyse the car; the teams probably have better footage to do even more detailed analysis on. Unless Goony is doing his usual thing :lol:
