The Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid as revealed by Daimler.

The Global Media Site of Daimler recently released the 2016 Technical Briefing Pack of the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team. It shows the teams progress so far in relation to their new race car and the insights of some of the group’s key figures.

However, the icing of the cake though are the pictures that came with the report, which show the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid in all its glory. Check out the images of the Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid as well as the photos of its power unit in the gallery below:

Mercedes F1 Executive Director (Technical) Paddy Lowe was asked about the lessons learned last year and their progress going to the upcoming season. He said their main concern has been to identify their flaws, especially during their race in Singapore last year. From there, they will improve and try to achieve excellence in all areas. Lowe also revealed that they have placed minor revolutions in the upcoming car like a new packaging solution or suspension concept.

Going to the 2016 Technical Briefing provided by Andy Cowell, Managing Director of Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, he explained that they have tinkered with the car to let it offer both the maximum combustion efficiency and efficiency in the various energy transition steps. They are focusing too in the enhancement of the crankshaft performance. In addition, as he mentioned earlier, they have managed to put up to 47% thermal efficiency to the new hybrid racer.
