Overview

If we go by the season opening Grand Prix in Australia, the only thing which is guaranteed is the Mercedes being ahead of the rest of the field.

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg continued their battle from last season, and it was the Briton, who came out on top yet again, with his German teammate finishing just over a second behind.

Ferrari look to be the biggest winners of the winter, as they seem to have progressed and joined Williams in being the best of the rest.

The McLaren-Honda partnership got off to a poor start as Jenson Button finished back of the pack at Albert Park, but will expect to put a better showing at the Sepang International Circuit. Fernando Alonso makes a return after missing the first race due to medical reasons.
