Mercedes did more low fuel running than any other team in testing, so that would give them the advantage. That's probably why they found more time than Ferrari when switching to softs. McLaren are better than expected, Williams are a big disappointing.
Then I guess we should be much more scared of Red bull as they have done fk all testing and they're right behind Ferrari.
This would explain it: Scuderia Ferrari @InsideFerrari #FerrariAUSGP Long run continues for #ALO14 and #Kimi7, trying different race strategies.
Overslept and missed all of FP2! Judging by the stats, Red Bull are perhaps unsurprisingly better than expected, Caterham and Lotus are in real trouble.
Ferrari are faster than I thought and Mercedes are on top but not as much as expected. But this doesn't mean anything if they can perform in the race. ( and that should always be the case Bernie)
Misses all of P1 and then smacks it on top in P2 . Ferrari 1.5 sec off Mercedes on the long runs according to Crofty , and Red Bulls look good. Love the swishing sound of the turbo.

Anyone know where I might find tech regs for fuel. I am wondering how much flexibility there is in the fuel that is used? i.e. they are limited to 100kg of fuel not a litre amount. For example diesel has a specific gravity of about 0.88kg/lt where as normal petrol is about 0.74kg/lt. So if the rules are open then one teams engine might be designed to run on very different fuel that is light weight but that had good calorific values, so you effectively get more litres for the 100kg.
