- It’s rare for two Formula One siblings to be in the same room at the same time. But recently, our Technical Director James Allison gave us the chance to check out the W08 and the W09 side by side to see just how they compare...

I could listen to James Allison all day. The man is so well spoken, as well as being a bit of a genius. 👍🏻
Wholeheartedly agree. He and Ross brawn are probably my two favorite engineers to listen to. Dream date would be those two and Lewis.
I agree, he has kind face.
He is clearly one of the Smartest Men on the Planet
I agree with you man.

Mercedes: What is different from the 2017 car to the 2018 car
Me:
1- Halo in
2- Shark Fin out
3- T wing out
4- The middle of the rear wing is silver
Just the visiible changes, there would have been thousands of changes made to small intrecate aero and also on the inside where we can't see or where they won't admit.
James Allison is awesome, seems a really nice guy.
I have watched him for years in and out of interviews he is a truly nice person.
He is. To be honest, i even liked him when he was at ferrari. Love his intellect and articulation.
"i even liked him when he was at ferrari" - lol!
Yes James is a legend...another great British engineer - and a gent.
Thank you !
It's so rare to see a team so proud of thier car and showing it off in some close up details. It looks like a lovely thing !
More of these please! Absolutely amazing. Allison is such great talker, would listen him talk all day long! Have a great championship battle this year!
Fantastic video. What a natural James is in front of the camera, could listen to him talking technical all day. Can't wait to see this car in qualy & race trim.
Wow. What a presentation and a bold move from @mercedes to put the W08 &W09 side by side for other teams and petrol heads to look into. I wish mercedes success this year
James is a really likeable guy and clearly a passionate engineer. Exactly the sort of person you want leading development. Good luck for the new season although I doubt you'll need it!
I love this video so much, high quality close up shots really reveal how intricate each part is. I didn't even notice the car had a pull rod suspension in the rear until now
James is one of those people that success just follows and it ain't by accident. Nicely presented James, thanks
Thanks guys for putting out videos like this, all the best for the season!
This team strives for perfection, can't hate on that
Really like James Allison's discussion of the two cars
Mr Allison doesn't reveal any secret here. All the teams have improved their cars over the break. The secrets are in the suspension gears, the new PU, the software, and everything that isn't covered by the bodywork. Of course, we love to have Mr Allison tell us about them too. ;)
Please keep making more content like this!!!
Wow! I'm loving this - these types of video are awesome!
I love the way you open up to the world offering at least a little transparency. I love the technology you've got, and it's a great team. Good luck and well done for the work so far! Glad to see some of this trickling towards a road car too....
Thank you for doing these, they explain a lot, very valuable clips.
Thanks for the awesome vid merc. Hopefully showing the car early due to its strength in the upcoming season
Thanks for this guys! Excellent Job and good luck!
What a fantastic video!!! Whoever thought of making this video bravo.
Great video team!! hope we do great this season!!
This is awesome! Great video!
Damn James talking at the end got me seriously pumped for this season
Great Video, Thank you Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport.
Loving the smooooth camera shots
Very well explained much thanks
I didn't realised the integration of the halo with the livery till now, very clean.
Thank you great video
Cool! Good luck, sounds promising, i hope everything starts smoothly for you!
Very cool! James is a natural at this!
The way he spoke, it's like poetry
God bless ya'll ! thanks for the tour )
Lewis Hamilton World Champion 2018 🎉🎊🙌 Congratulation
well, you knew it, right?
The Mercedes F1 content team does an incredible job of finding engineers to work with that are good at explaining what they do on camera
quite interesting, all these different splitters, deflectors, wings and non-rounded shapes around the car and how they add up to make the car faster .
Great video..
What a great and interesting video :)
Love how the moment he says 'rare to find two in the same place' there is a third car on the right visible. Great video!
3 dislikes by Ferrari, Redbull and Vettel.
Christian Augustin red bull are probably too busy having fun
vettel is a membe of ferrari. you can better say dislikes by Vettel, Marchionne and the FIA
BlackEasterEgg was thinking that lol
Red Bull fans don't have a problem with Mercedes, that's why dickheads like Vettel are around. They can dump all that on him just like everyone else does.
vettel is more like a little child, if he dont get what he wants hes gona cry real hard in the babyphone (boardradio) so mom and dad (FIA) comes and help him.
I've gotten used to the halo a bit already, getting rid of the T-wings and shark fins more than makes up for it!
Thank you for posting this video for fans
Shots fired!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting video, thanks 👍
I'm assuming they have, but have test been done when the car is upside down and if the drive can get out of the car with halo???
The new car is also quite a bit shorter? or are they not parked level?
also think the halo doesn't look that bad, but I can see it causing problems with the blind spot etc
Where i can get to study f1 front and rear aerofoil? It's detail design and analysis? Maybe some old model design
Stunning!
Amazing. Such a complex looking design.
Best F1 team with the best media department, I love it, keep it up
They really do. I mean, how many teams actually give their fans this kinda insight, days into preseason testing. Remarkable. 🔥🔥
Bahamuttiamat
Red Bull
Great video. More of the same please Merc!
Halo is growing on me... looks pretty cool in my opinion & and anything that can potentially save a life is worth it.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you that’s the Silverstone pit garage; great video NTL :)
So, has the wheelbase remained the exact same, or the new car is slightly shorter? (some contradicting info out there on this one)
Is the split (bladed?) front wing (and constantly panning over it and not talking about it to add mystery to it) a distraction to the intake cowling area?
The video shows significant detail on the 2017 cowling area but not so much on the 2018.
There's talk about the slenderness of the body on the 2018 rendition, but we can't discount the amount of drag that radiators and the associated ducting generate... I think more attention could be paid to the radiator area rather than the back end
James Allison is such a good presenter
Mercedes, can you please, please, PLEASE, *PLEASE* Do a segment with all the heads of department. They are soo amazing and don't nearly get enough credit.
James Allison, Andy Cowell, Geoff Willis, Mike Elliot, John Owen, Aldo Costa, Mike Ellis, Ron Meadows, Andrew Shovlin, James Vowles and anyone else I've missed. Oh and Pete "Hammertime" Bonnington, aka bono. They are freaky awesome!! Literally the best team every created both operationally and technically.
I like the shark fin. Makes the cars look cool in my opinion
Probably a dumb question but isnt the halo right in front of the driver! How do they see?
I would get the shivers just standing somewhere near this car
How can u see with that big halo pillar right at the middle
Newey vs Allison... 2 of the best! as a mclaren fan i hope you've cocked something up but i cant see it happening! oh well at least i have arsenal!
I can see you guys have fixed the issue of following cars in dirty air and I presume getting the tires up to temperature.
So...I'd like to publicly come out and congratulate Mercedes AMG Petronas on their 5th straight World Title. Well deserved!
I applaud Mercedes for releasing such an amazing video. This is so cool and insightfull. #Thebestornothing 😎
I want that jacket!
isn't the halo going to eventually limit the pilot vision range? I think on that part it seems more ridiculously beyond the looks or so
Is it possible it film these things with higher res? they will look FANTASTIC for viewers with 1080p+ display
Why not use a aircraft canopy like some drivers do in NHRA top fuel drag racing? It’s clear with no visual obstructions.
Last year's car was a beauty!
STUNNING looking car.
James Allison is bloody good on camera.
I’m not a Mercedes fan, but what a great video!
We will see at the end of the year but a good promo! And seriously when specs change for the cars you can't really compare them. And as proven testing speed doesn't always equate to race speed. But an informative vid limited as the specs may have been 😊
I definitely need this for 2018 vs 2019 Merc don't let me down!
The T wing the the big fin looks nice
Let's crush the competition!!!
Nice car but what will happen if the halo blocks the drivers view?
Por favor señor esta funcionando mal la estrategia del pit stop o parada en pits yo puedo ayudarles
Doesn’t the halo impair visibility? I’m all for it if it protects the driver though
Obviously the Halo looks bad, but as long as it protects driver´s head from flying objects... I hope this year there could be more battles, Mercedes looks like it´s gonna keep winning most of the races. We will find out on the first races this season...
esteban muñeton I agree with the Halo statement. It is absolutely hideous but if it saves just one life or just an injury it has done its job.
I disagree on Halo. Danger HAS to be part of the F1. It's part of F1s DNA. If there is no more danger, no risk at all, people will stop watching and Formula 1 itself will die. The introduction of Halo is like telling a sky diver he has to stay on the ground because otherwise the risk would be too high.
@Carador That is an absolutely absurd statement; if you look historically at F1 you see extremely high rates of increased safety from the 1970s into the 21st century and at the same time you see increased sponsorship, increased viewership, and increased regional influence. F1 will always have perceived danger, the inevitability of a crash is what drives certain viewers, but I doubt many viewers are looking for, or will miss, the deaths which occurred during the pre-Hunt/Lauda era. The only reason F1 viewership will decrease is if they cannot produce a competitive event, having a single team dominate without even a single competitor becomes boring, i.e. reduced viewership.
You're totally wrong, with almost everything you said. But I don't see the need to explain my opinion to somebody I don't know and I don't care about. So have a nice time watching this boring circus F1 has become.
Carador Your dismissive tone in your reply to Dennis Frank shows a certain level of culture. I certainly don’t care if you dismiss me with the same level of contempt, but I do wish people would grow up and discuss topics sensibly.
For what it is worth, I’d like to make observation on the halo. I am for more safety in F1, and I think if you asked Niki Lauda he may well agree with that viewpoint.
I could listen to this man describe the features of an office chair.
Congratulations on your 5th straight manufacturers title!
Psyclone The Seahawk just wait mate. Ferrari look good
Max Ferrari are gonna bottle it again. In addition to their first driver clause.
Ferrari may have a great car, but Vettel is no match for Hamilton - Baku proved that. They've lost already.
If Red Bull get their act together then Ferrari will be on the defensive against Max and Daniel.
Stephen Smith I doubt it. I hope we see a real 3 way fight.
lol calm down dude, so many things can happen, even if they are quicker, they can be screwed by the 3 engine rule. Or be taken out by accidents, or have problems configuring the car in some races, or so many other variables.
What do they do with the old car???
Would be awesome if you showed how the wing mechanic works when a fast pit stop is made.
Congratulations & well done on the 2018 world championship
Impresionante maquinas del futuro
Un saludo especial que buena explicación.😉
Very good 👍🏻
Beautiful machine 😍
You guys are my team!! I love Mercedes F1 & Lewis has been my favorite since I’ve been watching the sport. But I noticed something that looked a little strange about the front end of the new car. Two very prominent features that worry me for the season to come. I don’t want to point it out specifically on such a public format like TH-cam threads. But I also don’t want Mercedes to get penalized later in the year, possibly being negative to championship hopes. But anyway, beautiful car & cannot wait to see her racing!!
James Allison is a really good presenter
BEAST
A fair warning as subtle as they come
great video, amazing access by F1 standards as always from Mercedes top of the class.
Loving your engineering Mercedes
Nice one
Can we see HAM in the WO8 vs BOT in the WO9 on track 1v1?
More videos with the car so close up PLEEEAAASSSEEEEEEE
Race the two cars in a video plz
Now this is confidence!
Not a boring daily test updates ala Caterham's Mike Gascoyne being uttered by the hopeless Mclaren team.
I believe this is confidence
