Actually, l would not be too surprised if Ferrari leads the way at Oz. But testing finished with the Ferrari engine emitting some mysterious fumes on startup. Mercedes thinks Ferrari might be hurt by the new oil burning regulations, hence the fumes. If that is the case, Ferrari might actually be behind the Redbull; until they resolve this issue. That said, it has not stopped Vettel from banging out fastest lap times during testing.
Realistically, l cannot see any team giving the Mercedes any trouble at Oz. They seem most prepared this season than they were last season. Also bear in mind that the new Mercedes engine now torques out a massive 1000 BHP. All the signs suggest that Mercedes is going to be mighty this year.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 14th March 2018 at 01:14.
