The air intake seems to be more triangular in this image, unlike the FW33, but not like the more triangular FW32 either, it seems more like the Mercedes original roll hoop from 2010.
The nose also appears different, without the hammerhead style cameras of the FW33.
It looks as if the dash bulkhead, is quite low also, so this could maybe be a 2012 nose?
Rear wing endplates are also different to FW33
Any ideas? Is this an FW34 preview, or am I just being silly?
The car has Pirellis on though.Francesc wrote:It's just the FW32, last year they had this picture aswell.
That would make sense if the FW31 had a high nose, which it didn't, its nose was comparable to the BGP001 and very low. It was Very low in the beginning then got higher and even then it was till rather low. Looks more like a launch spec FW32.raymondu999 wrote:As did Kimi's R30 in his shakedown test.
Having said that; look at the nose. The nose doesn't look anything like the 2010/2011 Williamses. It looks like the 2009 car though.

Not even that. Its probably an entirely digital creation based on a generic F1 car by a graphics person who's not even seen the car. Even so, people do try to analyse every clue even though they'd get as much information examining tea leaves.Coefficient wrote:It seems pretty obvious to me that in the secretive world of F1 teams would not give away the nature of their newest designs ahead of time. Therefore I believe the car under the tarp is just a showcar cobbled together from spares and is probably the same one as last year with Pirelli's fitted.
