Vettel said: “The new car gives us the chance to close the gap. How much? We need to be a bit more patient,” about Ferrari’s prospect of beating the current world champions Mercedes.
Nico Rosberg of Mercedes believes there will be little between Mercedes and Ferrari in Australia.
“We know that Ferrari is very close,” he said. “They’ve been very quick. All of the teams have their strategists, so we know more or less what fuel the other teams are running and they know our fuel. So we know more or less where we are compared to Ferrari – that’s why I say it’s close. But we’re not sure if we are ahead or behind.”
Hamilton said: “Best test ever in terms of how many laps, but it is not the best test in terms of it gets a bit boring after a while going around and around without learning too much. It has put us in a good position for the first race, but I have never been a fan of testing. It’s been gruelling.
