First ones off the block. I was expecting a better livery TBH

Did you see the rule stating that the livery can't change during the season any more?

Another pointless regulation from the FIA. Not like they're going to change it every week. But things like the Superman Red Bull will be a thing of the past.

They should have gone down the chrome/shiny silver route however maybe they were concerned that they will look too much like Mclaren with the shiny silver paintwork.

I think that Mclaren will change their livery in 2011 and Mercedes will go all shiny silver for 2011.

Hope so. It does belong on a Mercedes. We will never see the Marlboro McLaren back again so I think they should go back to Orange.

Don't McLaren loose the merc sponsership next year anyway and are considering cosworth or even their own engines.

McLaren have a deal to use Mercedes engines until 2015. In all likelihood they would of developed their own unit by then in line with their new road car business that should have two models in it by then.

I thought it was sooner than that or is there an escape clause that they can use sooner.
