Williams FW36 Mercedes

[Hail22]

Is this plain blue what they mean by 'heritage livery'? Presumably they'll still be adding sponsors for testing (a bit of a waste of exposure if not)?

I have a feeling one of their liveries from the 80's / 90's will return...oh please let it be so! less than a week til we see it in its final form!

Scarbs has done a great analysis.

(y)
Lotus used a similar 'mini beam wing' last year, but it was much thinner...

And the transmission arm looks almost horizontal, not extremely angled like the previous Williams ones... The new gear box might be higher? the clutch is certainly higher due to the regs, but the gears and the rest could be placed low anyway.

The shape and the size of the suviving cell still puzlles me, it looks even thicker and bulkier than the Renault R31 monocoque. So the splitter looks very short and it seems its upper edge extends towards the front of the nose...

Thanks for your analysis, but it's clearly visible in the other pictures of the front of the car.

I have some doubts

Brings new meaning to the affectionate name "Team Willy"!! They've even labelled the apendage with a W.

[Sevach]

It would be very ironic if Williams came up with the best way to use Exhaust gases

[FrukostScones]

Party!

But I have to admit, (at first sight) the monocoque doen't looks as rule-exploitive as the FINDIA....

But big thanks to Willams for letting this continue uninterruptedly! =D>

Air boxes area looks bulky, multi helmholtz chamber ram air intake into turbo than back into mega sophisticated intake plenum... feel free to correct my enthusiasm...

[FrukostScones]

Monocoque/survival cell looks very fat like a car from the 90's

yep, I don't like it much. but maybe the pastlovers!

[zoro_f1]

This is ridiculous... they have to change something otherwise the public will go mad and leave the F1 without spectators. Already it is started a mental war about this designs.

ps - Williams' new car completes first run:

The Cassis is actually higher that in zioture's Photoshop. The Splitter goes way forward so it seems like the Chassis is really low. But it is certainly a bit lower than the FI.

That nose is an Aardvark nose. At last someone posted a pic of the Aardvark . The famous cartoon "The ant and the Aardvark"
