I inquired about this from Fernando, who told me after finishing work on the tests that they were a little slow."
As for the rest of the field, it is Cub stressed that Mercedes despite his difficulties, he remains a team that will have to be defeated, even though he believes he is Red Bull greatly reduced the backlog. “The race cars are a continuation of last year, so there have been no major improvements. Mercedes is an outstanding team to be beaten, but they were seen to have a nervous race car. The big advantage of Hamilton is that the race car is a beast in corners. We could see that they were still nervous on Friday, and on Saturday, when they had to bounce, they did so. Testing is not a reality, but it seems to be Red Bull closer. Ferrari has some positive things as they have done a lot of laps and have had no reliability issues."
