Mercedes AMG F1 W05

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.

2nd best, the RB10 is a real looker !

Yes it is, Red Bull have probably done the best job that could be done with an extended nose. Or rather with hiding it :wink: The rest of the RB 10 looks great, it actually looks better than the W05 and the reason is the color scheme. I'd still take the W05 over the RB10 though :)

Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

Are there two vertical slots in the front of the nose? Presumably the cockpit cooling holes? At least the matt paint means we can blame reflections!

I still like the Macca best. Looks so Mean and Fast. Like a Spaceship. ^^

Although the Front Suspension on the W05 looks amazing.

don't think the livery or the shape is the best. disappointed by the nose. i don't like the look of their carbonfibre.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Very nice, the front end looks very clean, the camera mounts and neat suspension leave lot of room for the air to flow.

Massive under cut on the side pods and super tight around the engine, that's some packaging.

Still need to see a good shot of the hot air exit though.

Yeah, it makes the McLaren launch front wing look like it comes from a different decade.

From Autosport Live.

08:33 We have track action, as Hamilton heads back out for Mercedes.

The good news is that fears about the noise of the new-era V6 engines seem unfounded - the car sounds beautiful as Hamilton guides the W05 through the first few turns and onto the back straight.

Problems with Hamilton's car, just as he wanted to exit the garage the engine died on him. Source: AMUS Liveticker

EDIT: Now he's out for a second installation lap.
