We have some estimates of data, and I guess we will all see in Melbourne," Hembery told Motorsport.com. "There are groups of people that are very close, but there is a spread. The top ten is going to be very crowded. Will someone get a step ahead? You would have to say yes - Paul Hembery
Realistically, my money would be on RB & if I am being delusional then MCL.

Yup. It will be a close fight between Mercedes and Red Bull for the top honours. I am expecting a fight between Ferrari and McLaren for the third spot only if Ferrari's chassis was to be a let down again this year. Else fourth is the best we can expect from McLaren this year

Ferrari will be lucky to be fighting with Williams and Force India after losing their TD at a critical time. I think it's fairly obvious that he left because Ferrari was an over funded basket case.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

i am not expecting much from mclaren. looking at fast few year chassis performance, it would be foolish to be over optimistic.
i hope honda does well. i just feel mclaren has lost its mojo , just like ferrari. somehow it just does not feel right (gut feeling).

I disagree. With Peter Prodromou and Matt Morris (both very highly rated for good reason), there is every possibility that the McL32 is a great car. Positive thinking until proven otherwise I think :D [-o< :D

Its obvious that the weak PU has masked a worse than expected job with the chasis. Now that Honda seems to be doing its job, the coordination and correlation between both should not be an excuse. Both guys must deliver this time.
