I just realized that “merc” means Mercedes.
Why don’t you refer to it as MB?
Maybe because Benz is not in the official F1 team name. Mercedes-Benz is the parent company but Mercedes AMG Petronas is the name of the F1 team. Merc is ubiquitous across all F1 forums.
The more confusing one is how Macca was used for years on the old Speed Channel forum when referring to McLaren. I still find myself using it on occasion. I just remembered another confusing one: "TOIT" short for the other Italian team. It was used for Minardi when they were still around.

Up and about after post-race sleep.
Have to admit, race was a hell of a lot better than I expected. Would have loved to have seen in warmer temps and a broken in track.
