Re: Ferrari/Mercedes has the faster car? (post barcelona &
I wonder how Rosberg would be fairing if he decided not to quit. Personally I think Rosberg would have locked out the front row a few times with Hamilton, aiding Hamilton win another race or 2.

Re: 2017 Australian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Th
I highly doubt the Mercedes is turned up to full whack. Its probably out putting about 85% power, about defcon 2. As this is the first race its a chance to size up the competition without showing your complete hand. Mercedes out putted enough power to remain on top, while the rest of the field showe...

Re: Nico Rosberg 1st Corner
I think Rosberg has to finish the title race early, otherwise he will regret it. If its leads on to AD I see Hamilton taking the title. A front left wing to back rear tyre should sort it out for Rosberg.

How do you know this? Just raise the revs back to 16-18k. Right now the sound is horrible not because of volume but quality.
