McLaren looks like it has some pace this year. Interesting.

I think I read somewhere that they were running on the softest compound. But that may still be an improvement over where they were at this time last season.
Also liking the reliabilty thaf Honda has been showing. They could be in the Red Bull car next year once they separate from Renault.

Ferrari show their hand with Vettel lapping a second ahead of second place. The Toro Rosso Honda is third with McLaren having a more productive day today. One more day of testing remains

You can guarantee Merc haven't shown their pace yet.
McLaren are having a rough time yet again, they can't blame Honda this time around.

I’d say Merc is sandbagging by focusing on long runs with high fuel loads.
Alonso goes 2nd even with car trouble and STR finishes in the top 5
