Mercedes W08 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.

It's the rear wing that causes this mostly. If it were higher and straight, you wouldn't get that impression so strong.

All the front suspension pieces seem to have been mounted higher, I guess to allow for greater undisturbed air flow to pass underneath.

Wow i love this kind of aero developments...complex but still slick and beautiful...nothing like Force India's mess!! But i am curious to why did all teams launched such well-developed cars?? I mean i remeber cars testing without even bargeboards or sidepod flow conditioners...this year they've gone all out! Maybe because of the late february launch they had all the time to fully develop their aero! But the question here is: why go this extend and show everything to your rivals??

I'm just hoping that this isn't everything and there's lots more to come on Monday.
