    I was then about to suggest that. :)

    The Merc looks like a silver RB6 to me.

    Might be the angles AG but the nose looks straight whereas the RB6 was sloped wasn't it?

    The front wing looks very simple when compared to the F150

    Don't forget this isn't the official launch. It could be a giant red herring!

    Yeah it was a bit more sloped. They're very similar though, especially the way the nose seems to widen slightly towards the end. I thought RBR had done this last year to get extra airflow under the car to maximise the performance of the diffuser. Now split level diffusers are banned though I was expecting teams to go for a lower, narrower nose, but Mercedes haven't and Ferrari's was very high as well. I wonder if they're trying to get the floors flexing. <devil>

    I was suprised the ferrari nose was straight but now the merc too? I wonder why the change as the Red Bull sculpted nose was the way to go?

    well obviously it must be something to do with airflow so what is the factor that has changed the aproach? maybe its to take advantage of the new ARW somehow
