    So then, 5 hours later, at what point does it stop being funny and start being tragic?

    Hahahahaha, indulge in my screenshot. Mercedes are just downright terrible.
    Tweets they are running on their page are against them as well as cheering them on. For instance.
    "Do you recruit HRT mechanics"?
    Atleast not post up the ones criticising them.

    Apparently it will be revealed from now until Monday.

    Good plan when embarking on something like this is to use a pretty robust, load-balanced setup. I'm guessing they used godaddy?

    Could be an ingenious plan to get all of their problems out of the way early ;)

    Nearly identical to last year, accept the stepped area is less abrupt. Similar to the Sauber.

    The sidepod looks nothing special to be honest, looks like they do have a tunnel though.

    I was hoping they'd lose the beaky nose but no, it's still there, marginally less ugly.

    I don't see Mercedes challenging for race-wins, except at Monte Carlo which Lewis loves and the car's ineffectiveness tends towards negligible, even if Red Bull is still actually the fast car.

    It's a shame there will be no drastic changes to improve the car, I wanted Mercedes to his the ground running with Hamilton, but I suppose their efforts are concentrated on next year with the massive change in rules. Hope they're at least fairly competitive in the races.

    Lights went off in the Mercedes sponsered superbowl stadium.
    Looking good.

    Certainly doesn't look 3 seconds faster than the 2012 car.
