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

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.
