Sounding good, sounding very good!

And while some teams struggle for sponsors Merc seem to announce a new partneroship daily

Merc are stifling competition by attracting sponsors who like winners. The rules need to be changed so that the general public think losing or building the worst engine is just as good as winning. Oh yeah, and drivers like Lewis must be made as dull as drivers like Seb so that sponsors dont discriminate

Not trying to ruffle the feathers; but, what are those "tusks" on the nose of their car?

Any Lewis follower will know that the start of the season, and the first impression of the car is generally when we get one of those huge 'undiplomatic' heart on sleeve, completely truthful unsandbagged opinions about his car and prospects

So when Lewis says something like this after a pre Jerez shakedown at Silverstone, this is the time to start buying non Lewis/Merc fans a subscription to vaselines home delivery service

"It's going to be an interesting season," 2014 world champion Lewis Hamilton reflects at the end of the day at Silverstone. "Honda are back, which is pretty cool given their history with McLaren. I'm excited to see how Williams get on - it's great to see such an iconic team back up there, and I'm looking forward to hopefully fighting with them again. And of course there's Red Bull and Ferrari.

"Unfortunately for those guys, it's going to be hard to match what we have. There are so many areas we can improve and be even better from last season, which is hard to believe after such a dominant year. But I know this team. I know how amazing we can be."

Lol....he's trying his best to sound modest but still sounds pretty arrogant in text. Sounds like Mercedes will be racing simply as a formality this year, the trophies are won already.

Didn't you notice those on last years car? Those are the camera mountings.

To be fair, they weren't that noticeable to Ferrari fans as they only got to see the back end of the W05.

You're cutting them too much slack, they had plenty of opportunities to notice whenever they got lapped.

Those guys are up to something, i.e. there is a game plan and a mission thats been set after the 2014 success - it can only be something like 100% clean sweep - win every single race, maybe even 1-2 every race. If they have fixed the reliability even at the cost of some performance, they will still be far enough ahead to target these types of records.

We are probably witnessing an era that will transcend any other in motorsport - which ofcourse would allow Merc free access to BMW and Audis market place across the board - which is what this is all about. There wouldnt even be any need to advertise anymore, let alone pee around in the silly tit for tat advert war

[racechick]

Wouldn't that be something!!

[Hammer278]

Maybe (hopefully) those guys have guessed Mercs finish line in all this, which would force their hand - joining the party.

And then maybe the time will be ripe for Ferrari to sell their race team since the top 10 spots will no longer be a realistic target in every race.

[CookinFlat6]

I believe Ferrari will be owned by Merc or BMW withing 1 year of an IPO

Clearly you should stick to cutting an pasting Ferrari propaganda. Those are both pictures of the W05.
