Mercedes AMG F1 W03 (pre-launch speculation)

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.

also remember that chassis usually refers to tub + floor.
Some people will include the engine in that being a stressed member but they're in the minority :wink:

I am amazed at how long they've made the rear, there seems to be a huge area of visible floor at rear. Hope the car isn't too long after last years car being too short. :? I think the extra length is what is making the sidepods seem short.

Just imagine the combination of that open rear floor with the Williams gearbox.

I said we'd hardly make it, because there's not much else to talk about. Not two hours ago....

probably the ugliest nose up to date, even beating RB8,
pushrod on front suspension.
Still unclear the exhaust area, we'll see better during next days.

If this car is hiding some big secret, is hiding it pretty well:)
