I'm still going with the Prancing Horse
Though I love my Mercedes, when it comes to F1, for me it's the team in RED.
La Dolce Vita, Scuderia Ferrari!!

West is still a partner of McLaren Mercedes but they can not be mentioned on the car any more because of a new British law...

More info about the mp4/17D, from a few people:
The manager of TAG McLaren Martin Whitmarsh: As a matter of fact, the MP4/17D that we will see in Melbourne has a new transmission, new suspensions and a deeply revised Mercedes engine making an additional 50 horsepower compared to the "spec" used in Suzuka last year . David Coulthard, the driver said: "That car is effectively quicker than the one used in Suzuka", ..............the rest is just usual bla bla...

Dam, what an amazing race that was.... Thanks to SpeedTV
 Not only we took the win, but we are still using the old car like Ferrari Its just a pain Kimi Raikkonen didnt win  Just because of speeding 1.1km/h above the speed limit inside the pits Anyway, we still won, so McLaren Mercedes rules no matter what

Closer look, Kimi ran the fastest lap of the race a 1'27"724 - lap 32
and second was Micheal with a 127"759 - lap 27 But the ferrari was running a 2 stop, with the Mercedes only running a one stop, I think the engine is up to par, finally
