Ferrari Vs Mercedes
Esta es la pelea del año... quien hara la pole en Australia ? Quien ganará la carrera ?
Yo apuesto por Fernando y Ferrari.

Dia 4 :
Below is a chart showing the raw – i.e. not not fuel-corrected – lap-times from Day Four at last week’s first Bahrain test. The vertical axis is the lap time, the horizontal axis is the lap number. They are done in sequence, the laps run from left to right as the day goes on a shows the various runs they made. The shorter ones with peak laps are the low fuel runs, such as the one which gave Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg the fastest time of the test.

Mercedes are clearly out front as the new season starts, there is no doubt about that. It’s hard to say by exactly how much, but in both low fuel and high fuel running (race preparation) they have the edge in pace and the reliability is generally good, although they have suffered problems. Gearbox issues restricted running this week in Bahrain, for example.
Behind them it’s close between Williams and Ferrari with Williams probably having the edge. Considering how bad Williams was last season, they have reason to be the happiest of any team after the tests, as Frank Williams’ smile in our top image shows. It’s close with Ferrari, but Williams look as though they shade it, although Ferrari didn’t really do low fuel headline laps. The high fuel running is comparable between the two teams. That said there will be new development parts coming for Melbourne, so it may swing back to Ferrari, but that is the top three at the moment.
Behind them, with a gap, it’s the two other Mercedes powered teams, McLaren and Force India. It’s hard to tell in which order; McLaren was certainly more competitive in the early testing, but hasn’t showed as much recently, while Force India did only high fuel running at the end of the week with Hulkenberg after Perez had topped the time sheets on the first two days.
Behind them it’s very hard to draw any conclusions, beyond the obvious point that Renault engined teams are struggling to do mileage and appear to be running the engine below full power in order to get some mileage done to learn about the chassis.
