Mercedes AMG F1 W12 - 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.

So they are switching back to silver instead of black color for the engine cover. Maybe it has something to do with heat dissipation... We know that this year every marginal gaining is welcome due to developement limitation.

I'm personally not digging it. Maybe when all the details come up I'll change my mind.

I prefer the silver. Mercedes is and always has been the silver arrows

When the sponsors are on the car, the stars on the engine cover, and you can see it in the metal, you’ll be in for a treat.

You’ll hear a reference to “one crucial” design element still missing.

Was a new nose rumored? Or am I misunderstanding your question (sorry if that’s the case)?

Yeah, I should have asked: "... be a new nose"?
It looks somehow different. But on the other hand it's unlikely to see it before the launch.

Edit: nevermind, I had the W10-nose in mind. The one above looks more like W11's.

It's perspective. If you look closely the other attachment point can be seen
