The 2016 season of the top motor category, Formula 1, has teed off. Once again, it started in Australia and, once more, Mercedes led the race, now with Nico Rosberg in the first position. On the other hand, Ferrari finished third with Sebastian Vettel making his debut, so the podium was nearly identical to the result back in 2015. Can’t Ferrari improve its position? Of course it can.

Just to mention an example, the difference in Australia between Lewis (first) and Vettel (third) in 2015 was 34.52 s, but it went down this year to 9.43 s between Nico and Sebastian, the first and third positions in this race. However, although Ferrari has placed one of its men in each podium, reliability has been its weak point, with problems suffered by Kimi in Australia and Vettel in Bahrain. But the merit goes to the newcomer team Haas, which finished fifth in its second race with Romain Grosjean on the wheel, joined by the sixth position in Australia.
