Both Red Bull and Mercedes will be studying the Ferrari aero solution closely– Mercedes will have an advantage there because new technical director James Allison oversaw the concept of the 2017 Ferrari and its development up to July.

I dont know why but i feel so happy after reading this..I know its natural & all teams look at each others designs & such but this is the first time in a while that i have seen Ferrari in such positive spotlight..I usually go by his articles & general trackside impressions to get a hint about the pecking order & this has been the first time in years ( more than 10) that i have seen the car being praised for how good it looks on track . But I am going to trust the words of kimi & seb that they are still behind mercs & though I am hyped like everyone else i will keep my expectations real & hope they fight for podium in the first few races .

On that note i would like to know the expectations here - will you guys (especially the tifosi) be ok if after all this positivity going around , ferrari end up 6 tenths behind the mercs with maybe RB also in front ?
