Malaysia Grand Prix 2012, Kuala Lumpur - Race 2/20

I'm still not understanding why there is so much fuss about the Merc wing.
The Merc wing has helped net the Merc team a grand total of 1 point from 4 starts.
There speed in qualifying has been "okay", nothing stellar.
Their race pace has been average (same as last year), nothing stellar.

So tell me, why all the excitement about Merc's innovation? What have I missed?

The car I would be looking at more closely would be the McLaren.
This is true to some extend, especially as the gains are quite small compared to say the double diffuser in 2009. On the flip side though Merc (and Renault) should have scored more points and have been unlucky and we've not seen it on some quick tracks like China, Silverstone, etc so they may gain a little more there.
 
Yep, but rather than being on their own in the 'no mans land' between the top 3 and the rest, Ferrari have come back to chill with them, RBR are peering over the fence, and Lotus keep popping in for a chat :D

And Sauber want to borrow some sugar :eek:
 
Although I don't particularly like or dislike Alonso, I rate him highly. He seems to pull it out the bag when the opportunity comes up but just a shame Ferrari haven't delivered a half decent car yet and he's not had a good team mate so can't tell how bad the car really is.
