Re: 2016 Formula 1 Australian GP - Melbourne If any of you are interested in analysing the pace quantitatively, here is a site just for that. http://en.mclarenf-1.com/index.php?p...&gp=956&graf=3
While going through these please account for traffic condition as well.
Regarding Ferrari's pace, they have definitely made progress compared to last year, in 2015 Australian GP they finished 30 odd seconds in third. Let me not conclude that quickly, though but my feeling along with analysing all the lap times is the gap is much closer.
The three tyre choice for the weekend along with the radio ban has definitely spiced up the racing. Traditionally, Ferrari's are good in hot conditions and will be interesting to see how they perform in Malaysia and other places.
All the power units have made significant step in their performance, Renaults were not overtaken that easily like last year or the year before. Lets wait for the next race, where we have a traditional race circuit which will give us a better picture of the pecking order.
My Pecking order is as follows,
Merc - Ferrari - ToroRosso = Williams = Redbull - Force India - Renault - McLaren = Sauber-Haas-Manor.
- represent significant gap, = almost similar performance
