I don't think Merc have gone for the Ferrari side pod solution. Hard to tell from this angle.

Just noticed the Ferrari has a t-wing that's about even with the main plain of the rear wing.

Merc front suspension looks weird or is it just the angle. Front wheels pushed forward. Need to find a pic from last year...

Also Merc looks alien. Again.

So McLaren thinks ppl are nostalgic for orange?? Maybe to some old guys that are on their death beds...

Management needs to steal that Malboro deal from Ferrari so they can bring back the ICONIC livery. Not this orange ****. Granted it will be better than what they had last year.

To me, orange cars now remind me of Arrows and Spyker

Well PM isn't leaving Ferrari. In fact what I read was the gray on the 2018 car ties into PM e cig branding. Wood be awesome if e cigs came in and brought back the money that was lost when big tobacco left.
