I just praised the Mclaren cokebottle but i´ll be damn, this actually looks tighter.
A very nice angle, thank you!


@TurboF1, nice write-up! yup i guess you are right,

I cannot wait for an overhead shot of this car.

Mercedes is cross checking all the red bull domination cliché checkboxes:

-Embrasing evolution and avoiding revolution at all costs
-Minimizing effects of regulation changes on the rest of the car
-Slimming down the car
-Further detaling the existing bodywork

So exactly the opposite of what ferrari and mclaren are known for

Is there an opening (horizontal slit) in the nose tip? The silver part seems to project a shadow down onto the carbon fibre portion underneath. Nothing groundbreaking maybe but its not immediately obvious.

I do not remember having seen such fins on the brakes of the W05... Did I miss something ?

And side inpact structure is sticking out of the sidepods less than F or MCL.

That front shot shows such a clean path for air to get to the rear of the car around the skinny nose

I just think that they are hiding a little something at the back nevertheless they're gonna be a champion again that's a fact

Car looks gorgeous

That's really well made.

Mercedes playing it safe, they kept the nose design as similar as they could to 2014. Less work in design and simulation. Smart boys.

According to Paddy Lowe a great of focus was placed on the nose.

well the car sure looks like a winner. again.

i mean all the power to merc. but you have to admit, having one team dominate the whole season makes f1 boring. and it's been like that since 09. from brawn, to red bull and now merc.

it's no wonder fans are less interested in f1, cause the cars sound bad, one team dominates, racing is artificial with all the drs and tyre reg crap, and drivers are like robots. plus the cars are slooooooow.

I believe you missed something krizalid. ☺
They were developed later in the 2014 season on the W05.
