Will Lake Geneva's favorite expatriate win or will he get punked by Britany again? I don't care either way, although NR is the real deal Don Steele, what creative bashing will we likely hear about Mike this season? What will he accomplish? Is he good for the sport, or is he Gone Johnson?May the forza be with you

What a strangely beautiful looking car. Lets hope it goes like hell for competition purposes, especially in Nico's hands, as He deserves a car that he can win races in. I think I have said the same about Britney for the past 4 years though....
Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Despite only nine laps running Nico is positively raving about the W02. I haven't heard anyone as gushy about their new steed since, well, only last year with Fernando as it goes, but still! He seems very content and fired up.
All other opinions are wrong....

They should be back on form this year, I imagine they've had the money to make a decent car this time round.
Much nicer shade of green than last year too, makes a big difference.

Mercedes GP are well off the pace.
I wonder if it is just a case of them being BAR Honda rebranded? How many of the technical people and designers are from the Honda days?
Was 2009 was a fluke for them (as BrawnGP) thanks to the regulation changes and now they have been left behind?Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!

Might be a bit early to brand them 'well off the pace' Jon. Just 30 odd laps split between two driver. Let's give 'em at least a month before we try and draw conclusions - otherwise my beloved Williams are screwed!

I'm not expecting them to be front-runners, that's all.
