Although I'd like to see refueling again in the pits as well.
Liking the Martini Racing colors of team Williams too.

Ferrari's biggest issue is Ferrari itself. They should have never put VET on super softs after the redflag (Even I was like WTF). Also doesn't help they lost about 2-3 secs in pitlane when they had to come back in.. I wouldn't say they had the win in hand but they gave up a solid P2. They are close to Mercedes but just not 100% there yet, maybe 97% there

Mercedes ran medium until the end and it's well known in the open they did most of their testing on mediums.. While I might sound like an arm chair strategist but maybe thinking "hmmm well we know Mercedes ran this many laps on these perhaps we should try it"

I agree re Vettel completely. I would not completely rule out Ferrari as it is a bit early to tell who they will run on the intermediates. I would hope to see them more competitive, and certainly Vettel is a great driver to watch, better than when he was in the best car at Red Bull. There were lots of naysayers that it was more about the car than the driver in those days. I think he was proven them wrong.

You can see Vettel taking out of the car what Alonso couldnt do it. I prefer a bad car in a good driver's hand than a good car with Schummy for 7 years...
No competition is boring...

The testing days were too short and the weather not ideal to make conclusions. I think the biggest questions are weather the Ferrari chassis can switch on the Medium compounds and weather Mercedes can make the Ultra & Super Soft tires last long enough to cover Ferrari at tracks where the Ultra, Super & Soft tires are used.
