I like the side and underneath view of the McLaren front wing and what they have done under the car at the back, looks like crafted futuristic pieces rather than lots of over designed twiddly bits from 2008.

Saw this on Facebook for Mercedes and laughed.

Who are McLaren's primary sponsor? Because getting loving Coca-Cola to accept that "Hey, you wanna ride with us, you gotta change your corporate colours to black and orange" is quite a feat.

I hope so, he did some solid driving last year but wasn't able to keep positions because of the inherent lack of pace in the car. Maybe if the Ferrari engine isn't such a sack of poo poo this year he will be able to do a bit more with it.

What’s the deal with Mercedes? I am an idiot and don’t know how cars work, was the car twitchy and slow due to gearbox problems or did they gently caress the aero this year too? I guess it’s not the engine because McLaren seemed fine.

3 schools of thought:

1: Fraud team running out of fraud
2: Mercedes is loving with everyone and will take qualifying by 5 sec
3: Mercedes (and other teams with low-clearance cars) is having difficulty with the underbody/floor aero space and was losing a bunch of backend traction especially with the wind being all over the place.

They're trying out a couple of new things to see which way works best, so they'll be inconsistent.
Rest assured however they're doing this in third gear so their outright pace is unknown.


hahahaha who am I kidding their outright pace is 1.5s ahead of the field.
