Nico looks as though he has sat on something large and punishing in that last picture

nico got the seat on the wheel, i guess that confirms his #1 status

only a #2 would be left standing

Not sure what it looks like outside, but I think it will be hard to distinguish between the McLarens and the Mercs from a distance.

McLaren will have a lot of red on it.

Although, Mercedes could have washed the dirty streaks off the car before showing it to the world.

Liverly looks nice on that

OOh thats embarrassing for merc, get all the press ready then accidental wheel last years brawn on stage.

oh well the guys there are just a bit out of practice.

Why does Nico look like a wax sculpture? Weird!

AndrewN · 25 Jan 2010 at 14:03

Its really odd seeing Schuey in a colour that's not red. It took me a while to work out who he was

Well, seeing as they are not launching the car till 1st of feb, you might want to revise that!
Its a livery launch, not a car launch................

fail!

Wow, I had a dream about MS last year where he was wearing white overalls. Premonition?

I'm liking the turquoise contrasts and the "so fast we've scorched it!" nose.

As Malt points out, once more sponsors' logos get slapped on, it's going to look very messy very quickly.

Although you could say that with any of the cars, I guess.

Mind you, the de-sponsored Ferrari they used at Monza after 9/11 looked odd. There's clearly a sponsor logo sweet spot

Perhaps you saw him on Top gear....

I had the dream exactly one year ago today - just checked my photography 365 for last year. I knew that thing would come in useful! In my dream I kept thinking the overalls were Mclaren ones. Hmmmmm

I drove past the Mercedes (Brawn) GP HQ today and there was an artic outside in the new livery, it looked really nice, the blue highlights look pretty good against the silver.

I'd be quite concerned if I were you...

I'd of wanted it to be more silvery like in Dukes sig. Looks a nice livery there.
