I myself are very surprised that all teams use their racing drivers during most of these tests. Most testing is calibrating the sim anyway. Driving lap after lap well within the cars limits checking the aero packet.

And for comparison to other drivers, kimi just didn't drive a lotus at a race weekend because he didn't like the power steering and Alonso doesn't do simulator work...

Testing isn't racing. It's driving fast :P

I read on a Slovak site that Hamilton say Ferrari is in front of the Mercedes. Does enyone have the source for this info?

Reminds me of all those "Nico and I are childhood friends, there won't be any issues between us" comments from 2013 :lol:

I wonder if the car has a case of too complex for it's own good. Maybe this complexity limits their developments because of the various knock on effects, where other teams with more straightforward designs have more scope for development.

Isn't Mercedes starting "slowly" and get upto development speed after a few races: see start of 2015/2016 ?


I'm starting to have the feeling that the long wheelbase has wiped out all of our advantage or placed us even on the backfoot. Hope to be proven wrong in Melbourne.
