All the teams have tested here pre-season. Will the team with the most test miles have the advantage I wonder :ponder:

At this point it seems to be the advantage would be with Mercedes, but I shall wait before picking a winner. Perhaps at least until they've done a practice session or two.

Gonna vote early and say Lewis.

Same here.

Voted for Lewis. He appears to have this in the bag based on the sessions thus far

Really surprised at the pace of the Haas team today.

Missed the deadline to vote but I’ll go with Vettel.

Same WAG as last race.

sorry you missed it Dave. Think I miscalculated the number of days. I usually keep it open until the day of the race.

A good win for Lewis.

I was bored watching this race. Not that it didn’t have action but I think we got spoiled by the races that came before.

Mercedes seems to have hit the purple patch and that bodes well for the European season. WTH was RoGro thinking?? I was aghast that he was on power in the spin and took all those cars out. It’s one thing to be on power when you’re by yourself but not on Lap 1 with traffic all around.
