At first I thought the teal/turquoiose stripe was a reflection of the words on the ground, but I think it's part of the paint scheme, and looks pretty sharp.

Not a bad idea but the paint looks like a RUSHED JOB. It looks like they spayed over a few old logos with black and turquoise in a hurry to slap a few new logos on.

the photoshop livery that has been doing the rounds for the last few months is miles better.
this one looks cheep and tacky.
the effect they have on the silver makes it look like it was painted by a blind 4 year old child!

still all that really matters is the car

Awful, what a mess.

How messy does that black bit behind the Mercedes-Benz logo on the engine cover look.

If that front wing is representative for 2010 cars, the FIA clearly need to clean up the rules on that part. Good Lord.

That's just a BGP001 as it raced in 2009.
