Mercedes AMG F1 wins the internet today

"ERS?  you mean KERS?"

"1.6?  my first car had bigger than that."

Brilliant, especially because 99/9% of F1 fans feel exactly the same way.

"Next you are going to tell me the last race is worth double the points..."  take that Bernie.

F1 is back and what was Mercedes up to with their wheels?

Before the summer break, Mercedes AMG showed it had come to terms with its Achilles heel, tire wear, could clever wheels have helped?

The summer break is finally over, this week end Formula One is back at the best track, Spa.  Twitter feeds fired up, press releases, articles are written...all is good with the world!

2013 Mercedes AMG-Petronas W04

The Mercedes AMG W04 looks to to be on trend with most other teams, an evolution of last year's model with a nose job. Unlike most other teams the W04 was shown with long non "Coanda" exhausts as it was driven by Nico Rosberg around Jerez ahead of tomorrows first day of winter testing.


Lewis Hamilton looks to have stepped into a bit of a political hornet's nest at Mercedes, a team with too many roosters at the top and no discernible vision yet.   Not of much comfort to Lewis fans, he predicted 2013 as a transition year but if he's worried he does not seem to show it, tweeting on a new Blackberry,  sporting a new hat with Monster Energy sponsorship and going home to Nicole on the brand new Bombardier Challenger 605 he just picked up.
