Well I always like to ask questions. Lands me in bother more often than not, but still I'll ask the questions, especially when something is clearly amiss with no obvious answer.
I think Lewis has had more to overcome in f1 than most, and as you say is followed by controversy wherever he goes, which is generally taken out of context and hugely overblown. I think he deals with it well, if sometimes naively and never plays the cards others in his position might. He's a fantastic ambassador for the sport and now for Mercedes, already Mercedes has hugely more interest in it and Lewis hasn't turned a wheel yet.
So come on Lewis and Mercedes, show us what you can do

If old man Schumi could get a podium and a pole position last season in a lost concept of a car, I expect Lewis and Merc to do some fantastic things this season.

i hope the Merc guys are not up all night trying to incorporate some last minute changes seen on other cars!

Lets be fair all the teams could just rebrand last years car for how close the launch cars and the ones that turn up to the 1st gp aoart are

I dreamt Lewis and Nico qualified 13th and 16th in Melbourne...expecting heavy rain on Sunday and going for a full wet setup.

Positive vibes from both Nico and Lewis after driving the car, though both reserve full comment until they've driven It on the real tyres tomorrow.
Lewis said there are twice as many buttons on the Merc steering wheel as the Mclaren and has already got rid of some of them.
