    Looks ace, I think they will overtake Caterham and leapfrog the STR's, wouldn't bet against it.
    Do they have KERS?

    My thoughts exactly! But I have to say it looks better than I was expecting.

    Looks like a old Indycar :) But I like it.

    Marussia have tried to improve their general engineering ability for this year - the new car is the first one the new structure has built completely from scratch following the split from ex-designer Nick Wirth in 2011. I've had a good look at it, including under the skin and it is very well mechanically engineered. It's neat and tidy with lots of nice bits and pieces on it. The bodywork is very basic, without turning vanes and other parts aimed at enhancing aerodynamics, but there is room for those to be added. It looks like a solid package.

    Is this the first car they have built with Mclarens help?

    Just realised that Max is the brother of Tom, who often appears on Topgear, but races touring cars normally.

    It's the most boring looking car i've ever seen.

    I am really surprised I haven't linked Max and Tom Chilton before. Car looks okay, a one word summary would be 'basic'. I could see Caterham being quicker out of the box, but being overtaken by Marussia without a chance of catching up.
