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.

Is it just me (reading on an awful quality photo), or does it indeed look just like W03 with a modesty panel so far?

@MercedesAMGF1:

"PS: The real W04 is on its way to Spain as we speak ;)" So this is not real :)

2013 summed up:

Lewis wins a race or two in a --- Mercedes
McLaren build dominate car which both drivers fail to win the championship with
Alonso and Vettel duel out for the championship with Kimi close behind

This was 2012.

Going by the poor quality image, I hope this isnt the real W04, it looks like last years and that car needs many changes to push it up front. However we cannot really see the key areas in this image which is probably the whole point.

Well besides the Sauber C32, all launched cars have looked similar to 2012. We won't know really what's changed for sure until testing and even then the Australian GP will be the definitive answer. Obviously 2013 is important to the teams, but you can't expect radical changes this year when most teams are balancing their efforts for 2014.
