Teams are all making noises as if they do not know, apart from Mercedes who are obviously not in a position as bad as last year.
Nobody here knows how it will go because the tyres are new and not tested in hot conditions. The tyres were mad last year at the start and more mad this year.
I love the uncertainty.
Next year new engines of course. Would like to see all the teams from one manufacturer 2 seconds ahead of anyone else, as that will have reduced aero and tyre as an advantage, but that ain't going to happen.
Big power brings the driver into play more of course too.

(GMM)Red Bull's new car is the slowest of all in a straight line, according to an analysis by respected German magazine Auto Motor und Sport. Based on the all-important final two days of Barcelona running last weekend, correspondent Michael Schmidt found that the RB9 (307.7kph) was 12.8kph slower on the long front straight than the quickest, the Marussia.
Behind the Cosworth-powered Marussia, Ferrari-powered Ferrari and Sauber are next best with 316.7kph, equalled by the Mercedes-powered Force India. McLaren is next, followed by the fastest Renault-powered 2013 single seater, the Lotus, clocking in at 314.9kph. Even Toro Rosso (Ferrari) and Williams (Renault) were 5kph faster than the Red Bull. But Schmidt said: "As Red Bull has shown, races are not won on the straight."

Shouldn't testing information be concentrated in the testing thread?
