It has four wheels, a front wing and mismatched side pods

Wish they would bugger off with these car shots where everything is blacked out except a tiny part of the car!

not sure if its real, but someone found this pic in another forum:
I think he means another as in another one for this year. The Merc logo on the nose certainly looks like its on another 'flat' nose tip, pointing towards a stepped nose. With Merc's high nose from last year, it wont be a surprise.
Another team to drop the blade style roll hoop too. Or did I read somewhere that the FIA have banned them on safety grounds?

Shocker as new Mercedes is silver!
That's a video from their shakedown at Silverstone today. If you watch in 720 you can clearly see it has a stepped nose too, so not sure that illustration is correct. Also, great noise

Mercedes only ran the blade for a single season in 2010. Last year the regs were changed to make it stronger, which reduced the efficiency of the blade, but Force India and Team Lotus *now Caterham* ran it. This year, so far no-one has the blade system.
Still have a couple of cars to see though. TBH, I'd expect the Marissua and HRT cars to be pretty generic F1 cars.

do the sidepods have a large overcut and a smaller undrut? sort of giving them a triangular shape? <<=(0_0)=>>

It's interesting that the Merc teams seem to have shrouded themselves in mystery.
It could be all a lot of fuss over nothing and they slot in behind the top 3 teams like last year, HOWEVER, it could also be that they have an RBR killer on their hands.
The final test of the season should be interesting.
