Worth pointing out that Bottas was on super soft tyres, but still 3 tenths down on Rosberg's fastest lap the other day, which he set on softs. Pirelli reckon the super softs are 8 or 9 tenths quicker than the softs so presumably Merc have still got 1.1 or 1.2 seconds a lap on Williams, which appears to be the next best car. Obviously we don't know fuel loads, what stage of the testing programme either team were at etc and nor have I taken into account the fact that the track was warmer when Rosberg st his time, but either way, they still appear streets ahead.
