The Brawn/Mercedes GP mockup looks a little dull; it looks more grey than silver but it's only a mockup and it'll also have sponsorship which should liven it up!

BrawnGP.com:
Daimler AG together with Aabar Investments PJSC will take over 75.1 per cent of the Brawn GP team, with Daimler taking 45.1 per cent and Aabar 30 per cent. The rest of the 24.9 per cent will remain with the current stakeholders. With 9.1 per cent, Aabar is the biggest single shareholder of Daimler AG. This transaction is subject to the approval of the EU and the Swiss cartel authorities.



Hm, what do the Swiss cartel authorities have to do with this?

Could reason for Mercedes GP wanting German driver in both seats, to pacify Daimler AG board.
