Mercedes at the top (of the not quite top)

That's nice for F3.  We won't talk about what's (not) happening in F1 

I hope ol' Fernando will be happy with his pile 'o cash as it doesn't seem like he'll see more championships with MMF1.  We'll see.  Heaven knows what these engine "homologation" rules will do to the next few years.

Try following A1 GP, GP2 or World series by Renault, much more interesting than F1

Not necessarily lower than a G's (though it must surely be)... it's just carefully designed to take the drag from the wings and make a hell of a lot of downward force.
