The amount of laps Mercedes have done compared to everyone else is insane.

cant see McLaren pushing to hard on day one with a brand new engineHoping McLaren are just having an easy day "checking systems", +17 seconds?

Is it me, or do Ferrari make a point of setting some good testing times for the sponsors each year? Pity they always fall off by Melbourne tho.
Not really. Last few years they have been slow in testing which has dragged into the season.It would also normally be the teams struggling for sponsors playing the false pace game.

Williams win the worst nose prize.
Vettel getting the fastest time was interesting, I don't know whether it was a low fuel soft rubber glory run for SV, but after not getting on with the Red Bull car last year after winning for 4 years it's a bit of an odd one to me that he's hit the ground running on pace in a new team and a new car.

Didn't Kimi set the fastest time this time last year? It would also normally be the teams struggling for sponsors playing the false pace game.

Honda shocker 2nd attempt on track and still not getting anywhere, surely they could have got the thing going before they arrived at the circuit? Does not bode well for them, a bit like Renault last season not getting on top of the rules.
