Here is a very good video from C Piolo. As we can see it looks like Ferrari´s interpretation of the new exhausts rules.

Looks more like his interpretation of what Ferrari might do.

[MortenF1]

Yes I am.

RBR: Vettel and Webber. Webber ruins the average.
Mclarn: for me the second best line-up on the grid
Ferrari: Massa ruins the average
MGP: The most evenly matched team mates on the grid, extracting pretty much everything from the car.

That's just bordering on blind fanboy-ism. The strongest pairing has got to be McLaren's. Then Ferrari's are also stronger as Alonso is so good, better than Rosberg, and there isn't much I think, between Massa and Schumacher.
I think Force India might have a stronger pairing too, two very good, closely matched drivers.

Rosberg is top 10 easily, but Schumacher is just unbelieveably crap on Saturdays, and even if he's had a good handful of strong race-performances, he's still been completely blown away.

Disagree with the bolded parts. I think Schumacher would destroy Massa in equal machinery (as would most if not all other drivers on the grid), I don't see all the fuss about Paul Di Resta (although I never saw him in lower formulae so maybe he was exceptional there I don't know) and I can't for the life of me see how he's been completely blown away, he lost by 13 points I think it was?

Back on topic please, assuming you don't think it's run its course.

Is there any way the thread could be renamed W03 or does somebody usually make a new thread for new cars?

[Buttoneer]

The forum has an excellent search function that you can use. There are some 2012 threads already.

If AMG boys will get hand on this F1 car (will be allowed?), than I predict there will be heavy shift on the grid, and fight will be right on the front row. I think there will be a few suprises for some posters after they will learn what Mercedes's divison AMG really knows about racing. It's so long ago when, as most good things do, started really after work in the basement (or a home garage)...

I'm pretty sure the MGP W02 was a worse car than the FI, Renault and the Toro Rosso, the only reason MGP beat them was due to the immense talent driving their cars.

Rosberg out performed the car but out performed his team mate by a much larger margin.

In which race exactly?

Rise above it Ivan, Britishtrident is a known Schumi-hater. Don't expect any logical comment from him & you'll never be disappointed.

NR isn't as shit as Mastah (another incredible troller) would like people to believe either.

If anything NR strikes me as another Webber, more than capable of winning races & perhaps mounting a championship challenge if things go his way. I doubt he'll ever be considered as a top echelon driver, but there's no shame in that.

Tell me it's only a joke. Right, it's a joke? Nico was threating fricking beast Fred in Ferrari in some qualis and you are telling Mercedes was worse than Force India, Renault and Toro Rosso. OMG . Mercedes with strongest pairing on the grid or Mercedes worse than midfield cars, I don't know what's more disconnected from reality, but both statements are pure gold .

It's funny, because I rate Nico on par with Mark, so that makes you troll too.
