When will teams underatand that if you don't want your car leaked before the official launch you have to have the filming session AFTER the launch?

They can have the same hardware and software, but that does not cover them being allowed to use it in the same way.

It's not much tighter than anything we've seen before. The wider floor from the current regs flatters it.

Though, isn't that how Merc did their reveal last year or something? Like have one of their crew pretend to be a dude sneaking in a camera and the other pit crew members chase him off?
I bet it's gonna be the same this year again.

2018 constructors championship predictions:
1. Mercedes 2. Ferrari 3. Red Bull 4. McLaren (dat Renault) 5. Renault 6. Force India 7. Williams 8. Sauber (dat current spec Ferrari, plus technical support - remember that Fiat have a vested interest in the Alfa Romeo name being successful) 9. Haas 10. Toro Rosso (dat Honda)
I'm not certain about the midfield though. Williams might do better with Paddy Lowe. Renault are expecting to make gains, but who knows, it could be all talk.
>rbr >merc >williams or force inta ya >Ferrari >mclaren >sauber>renault >torro rosso >haas
Ryder Howard
W-What did he mean by this?
Lincoln Howard
Yep, another boring season but at least we get to see GOATlonso overtake cars instead of being defenselessly overtaken.
Asher Reed
If the Sauber is anything to go by, which itself has some Ferrari parts, what would make the Ferrari then? It was the most radical car last year, so this year I expect that to carry over.
Andrew Rodriguez
Literally looks like the 2017 car, especially the nose

We've been through why they thought such a passive concept would be fine.
Aiden James
m8, I literally said at the time it's wasn't missing Newie's SUPERPARTS, it was a low drag concept to attempt to take advantage the lower top speeds expected from the wider cars.
But you're missing the entire point of the post, which is that people are still falling for the "it's looks shit now but will have amazing new parts in testing / Melbourne/ Spain/ Abu Dhabi"
Thomas Lopez
>people are still falling for the "it's looks shit now but will have amazing new parts in testing / Melbourne/ Spain/ Abu Dhabi" Nobody is falling for anything, teams often don't have brand new parts available for testing. It's that fucking simple
I know, but the real reason whs their testing methods (mostly wind tunnel) were incorrectly calibrated for a few months. This led them to believe that a low drag concept was making more downforce than was actually the case. I didn't miss your point, more talking about something different.
Juan White
They look like fucking hovercrafts
Mason Cox
probably steiner because even with all the whining of fatjhon (which is quite experienced now ) they didn't manage to pinpoint what's wrong with the car and why it's so slow K mag doesn't complain but he's also slow
Henry Morris
>parts of course mercedes can still add/change many if not all of the meme wings and boards on teh car, but the main concept of the car is almost identical to last year's and that's not gonna change I assume.
Looks like they put their trust in whatever they cooked up under the hood
Anthony Stewart
This. There is a difference between parts and concept. You can't just bolt on a completely different front wing (for example) and expect it to work with the rest of the car.
>You can't just bolt on a completely different front wing Who is saying that? The launch version of the car is not intended to be competitive or provide useful feedback. The current front wing is potentially a placeholder, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work with the rest of the car
Chase Johnson
Why do people rate McLaren. They'll be shit this season too. Probably won't even finish half the races because of overheating or something
Leo Flores
>Mercedes is going to all of this trouble to hide SUPERPARTS for 3 days
Gabriel Morales
Because they have the most charming driver duo. We really want them to do good
Landon Davis
You understand that it takes time to make a wing, yes? You understand that any kind of manufacturing issue could push the delivery date back?
Teams are already working to the brink to have parts ready for testing, any issues when manufacturing them have consequences
Cameron Young
I hope Ocon gets a podium this year.
Colton Lewis
LMAO So now they're not hiding parts, the parts aren't ready.
Narrative continuity BTFO
Josiah Young
Who here /vlc/ ?
:^)
Robert Price
last year they produced an engine cover without shark fin (and T-wings) for the launch only. A couple of days later at the test the had a fin an T-wing(s)
Jose Green
Again, nobody said anything about hiding parts. You just making things up because you're an idiot
Asher Myers
>Literally looks like the 2017 car, especially the nose >half that shit will be different in Barcelona
Cameron Evans
Please highlight where I said "hiding"
Watch Grand Prix Driver. McLaren, despite having one of the best manufacturing facilities in the sport, didn't have their floor ready for the filming day a few days before testing. Is it really so difficult for you to understand that Merc might have a similar issue?
