agree the worst phrase you can ever hear from a driver is " you can't pass so I waited for the stops". Unfortunately we will still have tyre stops so we will prob still hear this a few times.

Would have been better to remove the rule about using both tyres during the race then we would have all the action forced to take place on the circuit rather than the pits. A change of order isn't the same as a pass on the track

They stopped developing the 2009 car for the 2010 car so are ahead of a few teams.

Could this be Mercedes car design for next year?

noit quite true, the rules are the same for next year as this year except no KERS and a bigger fuel tank. As such an aero stuff they did for last year would apply. The only reason they never put the stuff on the car was because Kimi was leaving and so they didn't want him to race parts and then end up at another team

Not sure I agree with you there...

I think the blue of the Petronas logo clashes with the grey but hey its only an opinion

That's true. Though if they were to turn grey also, or a colour that complements the grey, then I think it'll look very nice.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]

Does anyone else get the feeling that this was organised a while ago and it`s why Ross Brawn didn`t fight too hard to keep Jenson.
When Mercedes first had talks about buying BrawnGP with Ross i reckon they came to the conclusion that Jenson wasn`t ruthless enough and they needed a driver who could definately deliver in whatever circumstances (preferably german)

Or am i just being cynical
