The Formula 1 season effectively got under way this week with the first round of testing and I was hoping we would see a closer battle for the championship, but it already looks like Mercedes are comfortably ahead of everyone else with some ingenious technical innovations. Still, it looks like there could be a closer battle for the remaining spot on the podium, or is that just my wishful thinking?
