Your words, not his.

I very much doubt Schumacher will be gushing about Ferrari these days.

He's getting his pay cheque from another premium brand now, and will be saying so.

Perhaps he felt the red became his personal brand.

Will be interesting to see if he keeps it.

I think I like it. The Petronas wheel rims are a bit of a pity but better there, I suppose, than splashed across the chassis.

That's a good way of putting it.

Looks like the nose still is carbon fibre, but the paint shape just isn't as defined. http://twitpic.com/zooyw/full

I like it. The pertonas blueish greenish color isn't that present, it's kinda blurred into the livery. It looks quite good. And I thought it would turn me off. But no. Very nice livery. Also the paint that flows over the length of the car is a nice touch, but I could have lived without it. At least as the car gets dirty on the track you can't see it as well.

eh - I thought the BMW/Petronas livery was far superior. A true shame they're not around anymore.

Why has it still got those awful looking yellow and black hazard stickers on the mirrors.

because of sponsorship of graham

What is Graham?

Huh?

Graham: pretty cool Luxury watches: http://www.graham-london.com/index.en.html

bad aerodynamic ;-)

Oh, I see.

A bit too "Victorian tech" for my liking, but would no doubt be attractive to the right buyer.

Personally I hate rubber straps, the catch on my skin!

Have we veered off topic here?! Someone change the subject.

its like Mega Manson never went away

As long as the watches have silver arrows on them I think we're fine.

The livery is very underwhelming. I prefer solid color over the faded spray paint effect. There are some nice subtle touches when viewed up close. The turquoise ends up looking like cheap mascara. I like the actual chassis.

The chassis is just last year's Brawn.

Looks nice apart from the black Mercedes logo background on the engine covers.

Looks like they forgot and just grafittied a black patch on with a spray can.

Perhaps they're waiting for the MGP W01 (how long before we get an abbreviation for that abbreviation?) to debut before releasing official phtographs. I guess there's not much point in having 2 photo shoot sessions...

"Does anyone else think this livery looks silly?" - MS

"Who thinks Barbie is too worried about his haircut to wear a cap?"

Formula One's first female driver in ages-she looks good in white,does Barbie.

So MS ends his Omega endorsement?

Hands up if you've ever won a race.

Barbie will beat Schumi

Very good.

That's like one of those 'Renault looks like an F1 car in a clown suit' truths which will haunt me every time I see the car now.

Bad makeup

Good selection of shots now on the Bild vebsite.

Yep I am with some others here.....and feel a little disappointed with the livery....its a bit 'meh'.... It certainly does not portray a 'Silver Arrow' to me....

Shame...

who is the chick?

i must say rosberg so far (tries to) look(s) "unfazed"...

It's still the same team that did this...
http://www.formulaf1.com/wp-content/upload...arth-livery.jpg

Someone in the sign shop was and still is a big fan of dodgy looking wraps

Rosberg....

I suppose it's possible it may change. It's certainly not the 2010 car we were looking at.

She is german, which disqualifies her. And well, rosberg is almost prettier

I just love the fact the Schumi is true to forn and sports a leather suit, pants with press included.

German style? Hell yeah!


(if you are into bondage...)

I think it's satin rather than leather. Otherwise he has begun the defense of his "worst clothed german"-title this early!

Michael looks all smiling! Haven't seen him smiling like this for ages! Cant wait for Hamilton vs Schumarcher vs Alonso

Satin in winter?

Still pretty bondage if you ask me. The pleasures of freezing your bal*s off are never to be underestimated.

It's a liverly that reflects a white spiritual haze of the entrance of the spiritual gripworld all that white and some silver, this is a car of strong faith and belief. Mercedes Ascent from the Ashes of 50 years. 50 years buried deep down in the craters of THE CORNER OF NO NAME AT SPA!!!!

BUT TODAY YOU RISE MERCEDES INTO THE LIGHT.

The livery was designed by the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen design centre.

The main thing is you didn't get carried away with it

Ralf: Michael, please make a casual photograph with me. Perhaps some f1 bosses with vacant seats will remember me.

OK..Just for you kids out there..
A little history lesson called..Herr Neubauer makes an impression

Jp

is rosberg gay or does he have a gf? he looks very well groomed look at his newly plucked eyebrows which also been shaped too

On behalf of f1 fans who continue to accumulate knowlege in this life long and before life sport, I thank you for the link Sir Jon Pollak, even after my years of f1 following, some history is out there to read up upon, Mercedes is back into the light, and it's up to us to pass on our wisdom to our future leaders here in the forums.

I enjoyed the read, cheers.


Thanks for bridging the gap Past, Present and Future at Atlas f1 forums, a true weapon in formula one foruming no other website can compete against. All around applause. Well done everyone.



With the new unnofficial foruming rules by the Forums International Association, FIA i'ts been calcuated the most effective posts sometimes just need about one paragraph per topic. So over the weekend, 3 paragraphs will dial your knowlege into the set up and frameworks of threads without comprimising your time off the boards.

He has a girlfriend.

yea she looks familiar


anyways ive seen more of the livery now... as a Mclaren fan knowing their livery will be similar to ours, i was fearing Merc. coming up with something sexier and overall better, but this isnt....


its a cool livery though, simple and understated...like you'd expect from ze Deutsche, they dont care too much for aethestics, its ze performance that matters.
