Yep, pretty much same plan from them over last few years, crying about how they are behind and Ferrari is ahead, but then reveal massive upgrades and in reality they are still the team to beat.

Is there any indication, though, that the upgrades work?


Let's be optimists, shall we?!
Last year Ferrari had very competitive car, pretty much depending on the particular layout of the circuits, and the weather conditions.

Fingers crossed :)
 
Norris top in a McLaren. Sure, it looks like a glory run on the softest tyres, but - still - I think McLaren must be pretty happy with that given how dross they've been lately.

Why would Mercedes play the dead fox game? Are they so naive to think that Ferrari would stop their development sitting on laurels? Wow!

It's about not showing what you've got until you have to. Look at how well Alfa Romero/Sauber are doing with their front wing. Other teams like Red Bull and Mercedes are thinking of copying it, so seeing it now instead of in Australia has given them a head start in coming up with their own versions. If one team has something radical that's putting them ahead of everyone else, they want to keep it under cover for as long as possible.

I guess the best example was Brawn's double diffuser. By the end of the year, every car had it, but in the first half of the season, no one could keep up with Button in the Brawn, and the championship was won in a car cobbled together from Honda and Mercedes.
