A silver 2009 Brawn. So this is what (Brawn*) Mercedes (Ilmor) GP Petronas F1 will look like...


...and poor Rosberg, back as being a number two!


*Tyrell/(Reynard)/BAR/Honda!

rosberg drives car first, gets first full day and has been promised full equal status. only way that changes is when one driver becomes clear title contender. I would believe that, Brawn did it with Jens and Rubens this year no reason to change it.
I will put money on Schumi dominating Nico from an early point in the season.

Exactly my point. Poor chap. He'd have been better off at Williams.

Mind you, he's got a chance of a win at MF1PGP.

Nico has to get that win in the first 4 races, I know schumi has raced at all these tracks, but he's going to take a few races to get back into the swing of things.
Schumi has apparently decided to stick with the red helmet, which I think will look great against the silver car.

So driving a Honda on his comeback then

PS what sort of odds would I get on a fiver at the bookies that MS quites before the season is over :-?

I thought I was the only one thinking about that.

It has been a while, and he is getting up there in age, in a young persons sport.  Those G forces in those cars will certainly have to take a greater toll on him than most others, I would imagine.

  I think that possibility depends on how well he does, and whether or not he decides it's better for his legacy to walk away on a good note to save face.

I'd have preferred him to go back to his original design ('cos you have to admit the red was a Ferrari orientated gimmick), but changing the white to a shade of silver. You could fit a nice Mercedes badge on the top too.

His helmet company have said they are designing a new one and the launch photos were just a place holder,
