I am now looking forward to the season.

Miracle of miracles, Mercedes are looking strong. Bring on the races. Very good chance that Hamilton will be world champ this year.

Mmmwell its not unheard of for teams to pull their punches in testing to give a false sense of se unity to rivals. But yes it does look good for the Mercs.

I'll be shouting at Button again this year though i suspect. ;)

Yes, the previous day he was fastest. That prompted the "BBC expert- ex team member"  to tip Lewis for this years champion.

In the final day his team mate, Rosberg, was fastest. Might be he was low on fuel. We will see in a couple of weeks time. :y
