The black ties in nicely with Blackberry's corporate colour and AMG are infamous for the ultra powerful "Black" editions of Mercedes Road Cars. It's called Synergy I believe. I think it looks cool and it just shows even the richest teams are susceptible to the pressures of brand image.the user wrote:Meh...

Sure, the original livery isn't exactly for my taste as well - why did they put black on it at all? It's a silver arrow. But the fading colors (black on the engine cover, ugly Petronas-green) help to add some elegance.
Never liked the powder blue tho. Talking about brand image and associations, powder blue is the last thing i associate with AMG and Mercedes. Just seems jarring to me. Not used to it even now, 4 years later.Coefficient wrote: The black ties in nicely with Blackberry's corporate colour and AMG are infamous for the ultra powerful "Black" editions of Mercedes Road Cars.

Considering Petronas is their main sponsor, they have to use it anywayCrabbia wrote:Never liked the powder blue tho.

This is actually really bad if it means Mercedes, but why would they consider it dangerous? I think it is an ideal design.LightningLewis wrote:Tobias Grüner F1 @tgruener 2m
FIA not happy with safety of nose designs. 2 teams might be considered too dangerours: AMuS exclusive (in German):
As I understand in the article at AMuS that it's Mercedes and Red Bull?

The article is not referring to the danger the tips present, it is saying the front parts are to soft and disintegrate to easily resulting in a harder part of the nose being left at a height that could still hit the drivermarkn93 wrote:It would be absurd if it refers to Merc, there are cars with spears protruding from the front wing. But then it is the FIA so sorry Merc.
