F1 -Australian Grand Prix 09:30 - Mar 15 with 1579 views | Butterbing | I know there are a few knowledgable F1 fans on here. There are suggestions that Ferrari are hiding their true pace in practice for the Australian Grand Prix. I can’t understand why they would do that? If true they must be supremely confident in the car. Can they actually have seen enough of the car in testing to justify holding back? | | | | |

Yeah, it could be that. If it is, surely it could backfire (no pun intended) on them. Others are still learning about their cars and the pace. | | | |

F1 -Australian Grand Prix on 11:17 - Mar 15 with 1428 views | Pecker | Both are probably holding something back. Mercedes tend to show their hand in final practice, whereas Ferrari will tend to not turn it to full power until the 3rd part of qualifying. Ferrari are the risk takers and will probably continue with this tactic. William will be very worried with their pace. | | | |

And now Ferrari look very silly, nearly a second behind Hamilton. SB | |
