Are you going to be like this all season? if so start your own moaning thread and we will leave you too it.

Why dont you just add me to your ignore list and stop ruining this forum with off topic crap designed to start an argument?

Strange seeing Lewis in those overalls.

Oh god the Blackberry marketing man has jizzed all over the place.

Good to see they haven't changed the front wing since 2009 and the days of Brawn GP lol.

Another year of 'learning' ahead for Merc I feel!

Gary from down the pub is a little damming in his views, understandably so after seeing the car...

...I'm wondering how long into the season it is before a Merc. employee starts mentioning 2014

It will take six months for the things that Lewis will change to make the car better.

But I have saved you post

I'm with Gary from down the pub on this one, the only thing have improved is conning Hamilton to turn up for a bit and drive the thing.

Looks a lot like last years car but instead of addressing the fundamental problem of last years car (it burnt tyres like paper) they have tried to fix it with a lot of tweaks.

Fully expect this season to be written off now, then the 2014 rules to change in 8 weeks killing it for Merc completely.

The top of the nose doesn't look solid. It looks like fabric stretched over from the front of the suspension arms forward. Odd.

King Damager · 4 Feb 2013 at 14:43

I quite like the platypus nose xD

Looks better than the stepped stuff last year.
