I have to get used to that, there were so many years watching him in red but if we got used to 2009 cars I guess we will adapt to this too.

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements

Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.

The car looks ugly!

Probably it'll be nicer on the tarmac.
that car is not ugly and I am taking back the rest of this post.

And I think it was a nice gesture from Michael letting Nico show up almost as if Rosberg was considered a human being, too.

You will definately like this from Rubens then!!!

Q. Is there any advice you can give Nico Rosberg as Michael's team-mate?

RB: Yeah. Get out of there! That is the only thing I can tell him. He needs to drive fast and don't crash: Ross will always tell you that before the race.

Q. So he has a difficult job ahead of him?

RB: I think so, yes. He is a great talent and I wish him all the best, and maybe tomorrow you will see the newspapers saying, 'Rubens tells Nico to get out of there', but I am not being bad about it. Knowing what I know, and seeing how fast Michael went today, it is going to be a tough job. I wish him all the best because I think he is a talented boy who can be world champion. If he has the chances of being world champion in the same team as Michael, then he can be world champion anywhere. Let's put it this way.

I thought that the new livery looked awful on the 09 car but it looks 1000 times better with the new model.

Very different and more advanced car. Looks a lot more like the Red Bull - as they all seem to.

Very promising. Hope MS keeps the Red helmet as well.

Merc's 2010 car unveiled.

Not too happy about the livery, the Petronas green is fugly, as the lovely Elgo said. Still Schu's orange helmet makes for a nice contrast against the car.
Snore, Why is it Mercedes in any form of racing have the imagination of the common rock rabbit??? Yes I know silver is their (and Germany's) colour, but good gosh this is about as exciting as a stoned Operah interviewing Kimi!
