Mercedes W13 Speculation Thread

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.

Surely the guy here hiding the invisible boom mic on the right should be a bit of a hint no? :lol:
Using this philosophy, the image above (the real image) is fake, as the guy still has an invisible boom mic :lol:

Having seen a number of real cars launched and with all of them having very different approaches to the new rules, who else is excited to see the W13 tomorrow?

I can't help thinking it will take more of the Haas / McLaren route than the AM / Ferrari route.

I just hope it's competitive. [-o<

Do you mean wider sidepods shaping up to a coke bottle area?

Wide at the front of the sidepods, narrow / non-existent at the back end.

From how that cloth drapes, it looks like they are going with a slim cokebottle area with a sloping sidepod. Less than an hour to go from launch! Too bad I may be out during the event.... :lol:

It looks like it doesn’t have an intake in the roll hoop. It’s like we’ve gone back to 1988…
