We're just a few hours away from qualifying at the Australian GP, so we'll know soon enough which approach is working better (at the moment they look _really_ close)

So it turns out Mercedes were sand bagging in testing, as usual. Beat Ferrari by 7 tenths of a second! Anyways, that's the same gap as last year's race, interestingly it turned out Ferrari had a car cappable to win the championship.

But Ferrari fixed their floor for the next race which made the car much stronger. They don't seem to have any "problems" right now so may not be able to catchup like last year.

I think it's going to be another season of Mercedes dominating.

As a Ferrari fan this makes me sad.

I was _really_ hoping for Seb to win this year. It would have set up Lewis and Seb both going for their sixth driver's championship in the last season before the upcoming rule change...
