    It kills me that they now have a snappy acronym for this scourge of F1!

    Possibly but race pace matters along with strategy employed. Norris is not at all the best starter when on pole or in general. Wheel to wheel Oscar is more capable overall. Norris has 1 lap pace advantage at times. The plus and minus of each will be interesting and one who is more reliable and less mistakes will all be key.

    The orange colour scheme will feature with hints on the W16 itself, on the three-pointed stars on the nose and engine cover, driver overalls and on Russell and Kimi Antonelli’s helmet designs, with that shade having featured prominently in the brand’s motorsport successes in the 1960s and ’70s.

    C111 from the past.

    New concept here in orange. No conspiracy lol. Marketing heritage!

    Yep. Celebration of a concept car.

    Motorsports for Mercedes in 60s and 70s was still white/grey or even red. Not associated with orange.

    It's a convenient way of Toto stirring the pot. Whether it's to sign Max or get Russell to bend over and sign the contract he doesn't want, who knows.
