I wonder if Lewis is regretting his move yet to Mercedes?

After their car was revealed a lot of people around F1 have expressed their surprise at how little the car has changed compared to last year. There is a good article on the BBC website by Gary Anderson on the new car and how disappointed he is by it, saying that a car which was already 2 seconds of the pace last season needed big improvements not the little ones it has made.

He also noted that Lewis should be worried as both McLaren and Ferrari have made big steps forward in their cars, both of which were already ahead of Mercedes.

I know Lewis expects this year to be hard, I just wonder how he might cope going all season without one win?

Add to that the fire Rosberg had yesterday, not the best of starts for Mercedes

I assume you have all seen this from redbull factory...

And in other news, Marussia don't screw on brake fluid cap properly...



And my work colleague defends the little lad that drives for marussia  (who has been a friend of his from school)  by stating he has 'talent', shortly after he piles into the gravel and someone on twitter asks 'has his dad not ran out of funding yet?... which was my point entirely given his sh!t carting record.

Got to admit I am a bit surprised he is in F1. He had a good season last year in the GP2 series finishing 4th but before that he was well below average finishing 25th and 20th.
