They put it out to tender and the company who offers the best deal gets the job of supplying all the F1 vehicles (several safety cars, medical cars, course cars, and a good selection of other pool cars and mini busses for use at the tracks).

Other companies either don't have the full range of vehicles to offer or choose not to submit a bid.

The Benz coupes from previous years looked a lot better than the unfortunately awkward looking SLS they're now using.
In every race I'm reminded what a clumsy design it is tho to damn it with faint praise it's not as bad as the bargelike SLR was.

Since mercedes is also an active participant in the event, I think there's a conflict of interests here, or should be.

Maybe not, but they need to be painted a bit brighter. Burnout Boy Liewser can't spot cars with flashing lights on top.

He is also colourblind. Can't see red lights.

Maybe we should use this for Ramilton then...



If he ain't see it too, he will feel it...

And if they try to overtake it anyway it could fire a pair of warning shots

Why'd he have to fire a warning shot? Just shoot at him next time he tries to overtake a SC.
