Hot damn the new Merc is looking very sleek and sexy.

I disagree completely!

  • The red clashes with the Petronas green
  • The hundreds of /////AMG logo’s on the sharkfin doesn’t fit at all
  • The grey background of the /////AMG logo’s seems out of place
  • Where’s Niki’s red star?

I think if they stuck more to what worked on the W11, black, green, purple accents, I would’ve like it more.

Either way, I’m sure it’ll go like the clappers.

Some additional changes made to the Merc for this year:

• Better thermal efficiency in the ICE
• Changes to the turbocharger to minimise the impact on the heat rejection
• New alloy for the engine block
• adjustments to the ERS to make it more resilient
• MGU-K design change to improve reliability

Also not saying where they spent the rest of their tokens, and with better reliability, means Merc World Champs 2021. BRING IT ON!!

This is all actually way more interesting to me than the new livery.

It seems to be by the halo base point under the air intake and winglet

Thanks, I appreciate your eagle eyes. They probably could’ve highlighted it a little better.

Cannot lie, I am going to miss seeing the splash of Renaut yellow on the grid. But the Alpine does look really good.

Same here. I’m really going to miss the black and yellow. I love that colour combination. It’s like your avatar.

But I must say that Alpine livery looks beautiful. I wonder what it’ll look like in sunshine.

Also, in the tiny bit of the presentation that I did watch, I heard Ocon say “French” so many times :laughing:
