And the first time they slap on the softs...

…Mercedes are three-quarters of a second quicker than anybody (on comparable tyres). Albeit Ferrari’s time was set last week.

[Usual discretion required when analysing testing times]

they’ll fire up the other bank of the v6 next week too

3/4 of a second is a massive difference/advantage.

If they have an advantage like this now, it will be greater when the visors are down with a full grid.

Na, it wasn’t that over Ferrari. As hard as taking too much from testing is, taking tyres in to account, I make it less than a half a sec.

2.5 over McLaren though. :frowning:
