Mercedes AMG F1 W04 (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.

It's just a show car, can we please move on? It's been discussed a million times.

I'm enjoying it too, although I must admit that after the first pic, it went into a slump, the close-up shots where worth of nothing. I hope tomorrow they show us a dark pic like they did last year. One can only hope.

I hope when they they have said "interesting", they actually mean it. Only their first picture has been something not nerve-wrecking :-#

Retweet to reveal... what a ingenious way to force the old folk to get on their twitter page. Hamilton must be proud.

Lets see how much is revealed. If it's only one veil being dropped to reveal another then we're still in the land of speculation.

I'd say the litmus test for a proper launch is seeing if the drive shaft is enclosed in the wishbone. Moderators decision is final!
