    I would love to have seen the deg over 2 laps with the super soft tyre here. How much would it be? 2 seconds ?

    Got a nice surprise coming for you guys.

    EDIT: BIL hahahahaha.

    "The McLaren looks consistently good through here even when asking a fair bit of the rear. It's more planted mid-corner than the Mercedes, for example."

    Mercedes pulls into the lead of most laps on day 4. Who'd thought that after day 2.

    I wish they'd stop comparing cars to Mercedes. Can't they compare Ferrari, Lotus, RBR and Mclaren! We know the Mercedes hasn't got as much downforce as Mclaren! <grr>

    Gutierrez is out on track, he's after Hamiltons 'most laps' crown.

    Okay, so the suprise is yet to come, I was also laughing at Believe in Lewis's comment, and the bold writing was an update of a comparison between handing in the Mclaren and Mercedes.

    Doing testing in the UK/Central Europe this time of year is at risk of snow/Rain
    Doing testing in the middle east this time of year is at risk of sand storms.

    Spain is ideal.

    AS: A canny observation from our man trackside: "Bottas is using the DRS on the backstraight. Vettel isn't.

    Probably the reason for Mercedes improved reliability:

    Seems they have increased the hole sizes with the suspension going through them.
