Thanks. I am so very excited and very cautious about Mercedes this year. I so want things to go right for Nico and Michael. They'd both deserve it, but I'm mostly concerned for Schumacher, since it'd be a shame if his comeback could ever only be positively reviewed as "a good attempt, but the car wasn't good enough". But then again, I think he might stick around to 2013.

Oh.
I was at work, when I saw the picture and just skimmed through the thread. Didn't even notice the Italia livery on the rear wing.Edmond Dantès

He'll certainly want to stick around as the personnel that Merc have recruited this past year are quite impressive and the fruits of their labours will certainly make for a very interesting few years. They may well be title contenders in 2013/2014.

I can't help feeling that Ferrari have 8% there simply because of their huge fanbase.
Fugly goddamn car.

No, even Ferrari admit it's pretty ugly. All the noses look terrible apart from the McLaren.

I was thinking about something referring to the duck nose. I do, however, like your suggestion. That's in the lead for now.
I'll be working on the graphics and info next week. I'll definitely get input from people here so now is a good time to think up a title and present them later.

Heh, Horner dodging the question whether the driver cooling slot does anything else

Still feels strange seeing Sky Sports covering F1 so extensively, but so far so good.

Indeed. I wonder if it was just coincidental?
best sponsor placement or what?
I don't know what the significance of those numbers are, but that seems like a pretty fucking good showing from Ricciardo and STR, especially considering he's really only done half a season (in an HRT, no less).
Thing looks like it's on rails. Nice.
Vettel's probably going to be the best driver for comparing the RBR to last year, though. Possibly the best to draw comparisons with as far as the old/new regulations, too. No-one else is as consistent.
Ahaha, yeah, I had a laugh at that. "Obviously it's good for the drivers and the cooling and the vent for the drivers and, it's good for the drivers".
Those round things seen from the rear of the RBR at the rear wheels... what are they?
FWIW, apart from the god-awful red rear-wing, the STR probably has the best looking livery out there.
And the new title should have a question mark at the end. Without it it just looks weird.

Webber/Horner/Kimi/Diresta interviews there and some nice footage.
I just want the season to start. These tests and slow reveals aren't exciting. Let's get to the track!
Also, anybody looking at the odds this year?
There were much better ones last year (12/1, 14/1 for the likes of Button and Alonso which I put a tenner each on)

Kimi for 20/1 (or 25/1 on Sky) is worth it for a giggle. But otherwise not much to go for; unless you fancy 1/9 on Alonso to beat Massa - such confidence in Massa's abilities lol
