2014 Mercedes W05

Dux · Jan 28, 2014

If we take into consideration that someone above or somewhere else said "beauty not important - but power" this is the worst F1 car till date

The new W05 barely made out of the garage...

It's done the most laps out of all of the cars that have been running today, until the front wing failed sending Hamilton into the barrier at T1

I thought by myself those strips that hold the front wing on, looked a bit on the thin side. Now we have confirmation

Just need to wait now on all the Hamilton haters to say it's down to how he drives the car too aggressively that weakened it and knocked it loose.

LOL I'm not even close to a Hamilton fan, but I believe everyone knows that the wing breaking off, as has been reported, is the culprit here.

Mercedes proves that you still can make a nice looking car even with stupid rules.

Why is it always Hamilton that has something fail at Jerez? Brakes last year.

The nose looks like it could be used for an garage of the noses of the other cars.

From what I can see in the picture, it just looks like 6 GoPros mounted on each side of a square shaped mount. It's simple, but pure genius!

GoPros are so versatile, i love those sturdy little boxes (i don't like the million trinkets you need to assemble on location.. but at least there's plenty of options how to mount them..)

I have been a fan ever since I first saw them. I cant pinpoint why I have been so reluctant to buy one, especially since you can mount them to just about anything...so many ideas!

I couldn't use the Merc 360 camera at all, it was superslow (took every resource available, in HD mode it took 40s to shut it down...).. on top of that, the connection was awful, 1s of video vs 5s of buffering..
