Good Riddance to Steve Slater.. I was hoping the day would come we wouldn't have to hear his stupid commentary on the TV. I guess the broadcasters finally came across the feedback of viewers on the internet.
Anyways, getting back to the racing, while it's still early days.. it's very clear that Red Bull were heavily sandbagging in the pre season testing. Mercedes however seem to finally be getting their Gazillion $ worth talent to put together a car that can atleast appear to keep pace with the top if not fight for it. Quite clearly they are the most improved team. Ferrari seem the most closest match to Mercedes and arguably there's little or nothing between the 2. Having said that, i believe this year the gap to Red Bull and the Merc/Ferrari pack seems to be around .200 of a second or roundabouts.
Lotus i'm a bit disappointed.. but the car was always known to lack top end grunt. Aerodynamically it's good.. it just lacks that "extra" to get them up there. FI and the rest seem no surprises.
The biggest loser this far... Mclaren! I gotta imagine LH would be might pleased with himself right now having bailed ship for Mercedes. Whereas for Button.. lol... i always said he was a 1 championship wonder.. and that too not for his overtly awesome driving.. not that he's a bad driver.. far from it.. he just depends too much on having the "perfect car" and thats where he can't muster up to overcoming the car.
