How about the prediction that Mercedes got it totally wrong and find itsself in a position like Singapore '15?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

I am excited for the first race, we pretty much know Merc will be solid and it looks like Ferrari have closed the gap although its unsure if they are ahead, matching or close behind. Biggest thing imo is how Merc bring updates, its pretty much every race where Ferrari comes in waves. Get close, fall back, close up a bit and then fall back over a few more races but it seems we should see some more racing from the front 3 and a closer middle pack.

Have to see how long Sauber can keep up, if McL move forward.

Williams look good, but i feel their decision making lets them down in races and they dont progress well through the season but i guess no supprise with their budget.
It looks like both Ferrari and Mercedes have similar amount of updates for the first race...

A good pre season analysis, using Google Translate :

most thorough and insightful analysis so far this preseason =D>
Yep, agreed ! And with hindsight, the analysis was very good and the few predictions made were spot on ... ! I'll keep an eye on this one.

I bet Hamiton is not a happy bunny at all, he needs as much time in the car as possible. Not only is he fighting Vettel for the title he now needs to get back on top of Bottas in outright speed in qualifying.

Clicking on the "Tabelle" button (top of the page right next to "Aktualisieren") switches the page from live ticker to timing.
