It was only the first day of testing and considering some teams last year only ran on one day during the first test, they really don't warrant the criticism just yet. The German tabloid press are probably as moronic as ours in the UK.

seeing hamilton in the mercedes will take a bit of getting used to
and he's caused the second red flag by skididng off track and through the gravel
but he manged to post a p2 time before that so, encouraging
seems the car simply went straight on at turn 6
it may be driver error (hoping) or another mechanical problem with the car (discouraging) but it does look nimble thoughyou can't argue with results.

That pic of the front of Lulu's Merc gives a very good perspective of how tortuous and complex the front wing elements are on a modern F1 car. I would say "awesome", though it is emblematic of the big problem of F1 - aero is everything. Front and rear.
And this isn't even the final iteration for the Merc (or the others, I would guess). I should have been an aerodynamicist, I am sure that all the big players have recruiters at all the major universities waiting to cherry pick the good ones, lock them in a room and make them churn out aero bits - a little like an infinite amount of monkeys banging on typewriters...
OK, back to the show...

I hadn't even thought of that and I'm a Hamilton fan!
