No fin

 

[Ruruja]

Getting some Arsenal vibes from that livery. <3

aaaand you've ruined it.

 

[Theorry]

Oh shit. No fin.

Why the fuck would you film it vertically?

 

[Zaru]

No huge fin and no weird nose?

 

[Ruruja]

I think it'll have a fin when they reveal it properly.

I can confirm... the W08 looks PROPER

Will Buxton&#8207;@thebuxtonblog
No stepped nose, no shark fin, wide and low, aggressive as hell. It looks like an F1 car should look

 

[Zaru]

Is that a longer wheelbase or am I just imagining it because they've got a shorter nose?

 

[Mastah]

Hold your horses!

No shark fin on the #W08 for now but @MercedesAMGF1 will test one later today #F1

 

[Theorry]

All cars are longer this year. But this one looks really longer haha.

 

[DBT85]

S duct for the first time.

Also very tight packaging to open up the floor.

I think it'll have a fin when they reveal it properly.

Because reasons?

 

[Theorry]

Hold your horses!

Oh boy.

 

[Button]

Hold your horses!

That's a winner.

 

[DBT85]

 

[Zeknurn]

Not bad

 

[Mastah]

It's beautiful.

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm no fan of the Petronas spaghetti along the sides. It looks like someone spilled flowvis over the car.

 

[John_B]

The Merc looks like a beast. Super tight rear, cool mohawk sail, crazy complex front with an elegant nose.

Those Hamilton poles are going to look brilliant.

 

[oipic]

Dare I say it, but best looking F1 car in YEARS. Kudos, Mercedes.

 

[John_B]

 

[DBT85]

So many flaps and wings and twiddly bits.

 

[Mastah]

 

[Dutch Gronk]

That's a sexy looking car....

They gonna dominate to shit again

 

[Aiii]

Never count out the power of Newey.

 

[brotkasten]

That's a good looking car.

Maranello, start your photocopiers!

 

[Shaneus]

No fin but they kind of have a substitute in that quasi-mohawk thing it's sporting.

How long until RBR have their reveal?

 

[Dutch Gronk]

That's a good looking car.

Maranello, start your photocopiers!

Got a whole day to 3D print the whole Mercedes car and improve it before the launch!

We're doing it!

 

[nny]

It looks so long, wow.

Beautiful!

Sunday.

They could steal the car and paint it red for all I care.

God, tomorrow is going to be such a massive disappointment.

 

[Aiii]

Ferrari fans only have themselves to blame. It's never going to happen guys.

Merc reveal here, btw: https://youtu.be/DFbvXhjrv90

 

[Dutch Gronk]

They could steal the car and paint it red for all I care.

God, tomorrow is going to be such a massive disappointment.

That's smart!

And yes, I'm fully expecting a stepped nose, shark fin the size of Italy and the biggest penis nose known to man and then it's still gonna be slow as fuck.

 

[operon]

Damn that is one sexy car

 

[Mastah]

Only this area probably creates more downforce than other entire cars, lol:

 

[CrayToes]

Fuck, that's beautiful. Haven't been this excited for a new season in years.

 

[Patrick S.]

Hate those ugly boxes and panels between the mirrors and the front wheels. Looks horrible. The boxes are awful, but those black mouldings look like some accident debris the car has picked up on the track, or if something on the car has exploded. Next level ugly. And it's a shame, because the overall shape of the car is beautiful.

 

[h3ro]

That car is gorgeous. Good lawd.

 

[Zaru]

Only this area probably creates more downforce than other entire cars, lol:

That looks like someone stitched together rectangular parts of car images onto a different image, resulting in a weird aero mosaic. But it's probably the peak of design.

 

[h3ro]

Diffuser comparison:

 

[jey_16]

Looks amazing, hopefully RBR come to the party

I have no faith in Ferrari

 

[DBT85]

Muuuch bigger diffuser.

Hope someone found something magical in the rules.

 

[Aiii]

VES has (allegedly) requested to be changed to VER starting this season, given that Jean-Eric Vergne's claim to that shorthand is now voided after two years of inactivity.

 

[DBT85]

Mercedes lady is already a better presenter than Renault lady.

Inb4 complaints about Lewis live streaming from his phone.

 

[Theorry]

This 360 stuff is pretty cool.

 

[Ark]

That is a looooong wheel base. Reminds me of the 2010 McLaren.

Looks great though

 

[Mastah]

This 360 stuff is pretty cool.

It's cool, but what an awful quality. It needs 4K or 8K resolution

 

[DD]

So, 4th place in the constructors then?

aaaand you've ruined it.

Shut up you two.

 

[DBT85]

Shut up you two.

Hey, 4th for Renault this year would be a good result, they are aiming for 5th.

 

[nny]

So, one of the Mercedes will have a fin...ahah ah.

ah.
