Not a good start to the weekend for Button who's ERS failed after only 4 mins.

Encouraging stuff from Alonso, though.

McLaren are improving at an alarming rate. They'll be taking race wins in Europe and I can see Button and Alonso duking it out for the title next year.

Would be good to see, Alonso was les than a second behind the Ferrari.

The Ferraris look quicker on the softs in race trim. The Mercs quicker on the medium.

The first few pit stops will be crucial

Hope I wasn't out of order doing this thread MUDD, not sure of the etiquette.

Would really like to see the Ferraris get ahead of both mercs and see Hamilton scythe through

Looking forward to finally seeing a race on tv live this season. Interesting article on Autosport about the quality of Ferrari's long runs and similarities to Malaysia - you could get the opposite and have the Mercs ahead and Kimi carving through.

Does say that Ferrari's long runs were shorter than Mercs, but may be closer. Just as long as it is better than China - only caught the highlights and not sure how they got an hour out of them - thank goodness for Verstappen!.

Something does not add up and Benson has observed it as well.

"The Ferrari threat to Mercedes is real, but it has to be said that it looks like something does not quite add up. The Mercedes had at least half a second over the Ferrari on one lap on outright pace - and if both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg had 'scruffy' laps, as Rosberg put it, so too did both Ferrari drivers. It doesn't really make sense, then, that the Mercedes can then be 0.6secs on average slower on a race run.


"It's hard to believe that there could be a swing of more than a second between the two teams between qualifying and race - or that Mercedes could be that far off in race trim a week after an ultimately comfortable win in China, in which Hamilton clearly had plenty in hand when he needed it.

"Equally, Hamilton did his main race run on the mediums, and when he switched to the soft tyres late in the session he did two super-quick laps - a 1:39.3, which just under 0.1secs slower than Vettel's fastest lap on his race run, and then a 38.6, 0.3secs quicker than Vettel's best race-run lap. Perhaps Mercedes over-did their care with the tyres and were running them out of their temperature window. This promises to be a fascinating weekend."

It certainly looks like we could get a race between Merc and Ferrari on Sunday. I would love to see one of the Ferraris take the lead at the start or at the least split the Mercs, then see what both teams can do with strategy.

Also want to see another big step up in performance from Mclaren. It just doesnt seem right seeing them make up the numbers at the rear.

What a stonking lap from Vettel & Hamilton

posted on 18/4/15

Nice to see McLaren making progress, now if they could only sort out reliability. Never seen Ron Dennis animated before!
