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.

Unfortunately my trial copy of Photoshop CSI has expired so I can't enhance it. I think Mikey has a copy.

Well,were the W02 side pods weird? No they were not weird.
These W03 side pods are weird but still look like W02 side pods!?

For me they look stepped! Like a staircase. Finally it is there the W03!
It is all the W02 should have been, a radicle design and a winner.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Mhhhm wanted to upload a drawing...think the sidepots are like Mc Laren`s U pods, but clockwise rotated by 90 degrees, so the upright part is not at the outside of the car, but on the inside...the main inlet is at the bottom. Maybe just an illusion. But i thought it looked like it. To be honest i expected Mc Laren to show up with it last year, when first speculations made it`s way to this forum.

I think it is a mix of L-Pod McLaren and Toro Rosso! Looks like the rumors in this thread were trueeeee.... :mrgreen:

I was thinking the same thing - those sidepods look very unconventional, they look as though they may have a very heavy undercut
I doubt it.

The rear looks very firmly placed over the floor with very little space in between. But the sidepods are weird & similar to W02. I expected a sleeker design
The rear may not be undercut but the front of the sidepods look as if they have a very heavy undercut - you can see what appears to be a big shadow underneath the sidepod inlets.
It is difficult from this distance to distinguish anything for certain but if there is indeed an undercut at the front of the pods, that would make them quite a bit sleeker than the W02's

Well i believe it has no undercut, but a huge uppercut :D

...... See what i mean? This is the shape when you face the left sidepot inlet from the front.
