F1 2012 Car launch dates

The proof will be in the performance.

My suspicion is that they have a few gizmos on that car which can be easily replicated, so they want to reveal those gizmos as close as possible to Race1. Obviously, Mercedes must think that they have a good car if they are willing to forgo testing time on the track, just so that they can hide their 2012 car.

When is the next test?
 
Mercedes W03: Exhaust exit far forwards and trail over top of sidepods and through rear suspension
Mercedes W03: Brawn-esque roll hoop, rounded heavily undercut sidepods, roll hoop inlet for gearbox cooling bit.
Mercedes W03: tiny rounded nose makes the step look even bigger, pushrod front susp

I assume that Mercedes are not going to be using their 2012 car in the next test, in 4 days time?

It's being launched on 21st, they will be running it next week.

(which is what they said way before winter testing started, miss the first test and be at the second)

On the latest merc picture I'm not sure if that's a inlet or a black aerial above the sidepods.

Anyone now what he's talking about, I haven't seen any pics of it.
 
from the video if you look in the mirror at some points you see an arrow shaped inlet, its probably kers cooling or something

i guess thats what hes talking about

people are saying michael and nico ran with different body work configuations to btw (different engine cover and sidepods)
 
The new HRT:
*EDIT* - Turns out this isn't the new car and that HRT are in fact a bunch of useless muppets who couldn't organise a ****up in a brewery.
