1. GP AUSTRALIA 2017

[German Sanchez]

Reflexiones de Andrew Benson sobre los adelantamientos:

Lots of angst re overtaking. Some important things to remember:
1. There's only been one race, on a track that's always tough to pass on
2. Yes, drivers have said it's hard to follow; but they have also said the draft is much bigger than before. Which helps on longer straights
3. The drivers are really racing again at last. Any pressure to re-introduce higher-deg tyres means "having a coffee" as Alonso puts it
4. FOM is starting a survey into benign aero, under Ross Brawn, including luminaries such as Pat Symonds
5. When these new rules were started, underfloor aero was explored but teams shied away from it, scared it might become uncontrollable
So, in conclusion, it might be better advised to let things settle down for a while before making snap judgements
P.S. one more thing. At least the racing is authentic now. What merit really was in many of those Pirelli-induced passes of last six years?
And another point. I wonder if Vettel would have been able to put as much pressure on Hamilton on last year's tyres. I doubt it
