Just read somewhere that McLaren are parting ways with their engine consultant. Oh dear. :\

At least Alonso's radio transmissions will be entertaining.

Damn McLaren again with the daily struggles....
Their season is already over, before it even starts

Painful, boys. I just don't get it. Feels like 2015 all over again. Though 2015 was probably worse. 2015 spec 1.2. New engine, new everything... 2 steps forward, 1 back.

Even worse, Ferrari seem to have the fastest car

At least there's some competition at the top... welp.

I bet, that Mercedes will show their full potential in Melbourne and they will be faster than Ferrari.

Looks like they have problems with their update.
If they don't sort it out then i see them being close behind Ferrari.
If they do sort it out then I see them being just ahead of Ferrari
At least the car hasn't broken down but it didn't last season and Lewis had all sorts of issues during the season.

Not quite certain at this point. Probably Singapore again. Maybe Malaysia or Suzuka? Maybe even Spielberg. Hopefully my plans for a holiday in the summer push through.

So what will you guys say is the order of the top three and why.
Mr order is:
Ferrari
Mercedes
Red Bull.
Red Bull's long run pace looked a lot slower than Ferrari's and the renault engine seems to be behind the other two's so I'll put that in last place for now.
Mercedes look good with their reliability but their long run pace is in the air since its testing and they normally run with more fuel.
I'm putting them second because their updates didnt seem to work as planned so I think they'll be a couple tenths behind once they turn the engine up.
Ferrari on top because everything is working. Vettel was sand bagging and Kimi said they could go faster.
Updates seems to work as well.

Mercedes
Ferrari
Williams
Mercedes in my opinion was going slow for the tests and hiding their potential. For Q3 in Melbourne they will be up to 0.5 seconds ahead of Ferrari.
Ferrari second, because I don't trust their progress. Usually they look good at testing, but can't prove it in races.
Williams third, because the new regulation helps them a lot. They can cover their weakness in the corners now. Their drivers are a disadvantage imo.
So after some races and with the right development Red Bull should take their place.

Merc-Ferrari
RBR
Tag Heuer, obvs being the variable keeping them there. Still not sure where Merc and SFM stand. Both were probably sandbagging and won't be showing their hand till the FP's.
RBR will fancy the high downforce circuits as usual.

A nice selection to choose from!Not quite certain at this point. Probably Singapore again. Maybe Malaysia or Suzuka? Maybe even Spielberg. Hopefully my plans for a holiday in the summer push through.
Suzuka gets my vote!
