The Mercedes W03 was seen in public for the first time this morning
Mercedes has officially unveiled its new W03, some five days after it was shaken down at a filming day at Silverstone.
The car is the first to be produced by the stellar new technical team of Bob Bell, Aldo Costa and Geoff Willis.
“The F1 W03 is a car that I believe, and hope, our team can be proud of, and which will deliver the on-track results that everybody has worked so hard to achieve,” said Ross Brawn.
“Notwithstanding the distinctive nose design, which is certainly an acquired taste, the F1 W03 is an elegant interpretation of the current regulations, and a clear step forward over its predecessor in terms of detail design and sophistication.
“Last year, we produced a very bold car and, although its more radical elements didn’t always deliver the results we had hoped for, the experience we gained has been invaluable to the design of the 2012 car.
“The F1 W03 is also a more integrated package, which reflects the ever-strengthening ties between our technical teams in Brackley and Brixworth, and demonstrates that our Silver Arrows works team is taking the next step forward in terms of on-track performance.”

It looks great, all they way up to the “stepped” nose; but thats a caveat we’ll just have to deal with this year. Hope its fast!
Judging by all the smiles I reckon the car has shown good fundamentals that can be built upon.
