Mercedes komt in Canada ook met grote motor update.
Tot zover de hoop dat ook maar 1 team in de buurt kan komen bij Mercedes dit jaar. Ik denk dat we moeten wachten tot 2017.

Summary:
Ferrari and Red Bull trying to catch up to Mercedes, but Mercedes are developing faster than them
according to internal rumours, Mercedes are planning an engine upgrade using token for Canada, which could neutralise engine upgrades planned by Renault and Ferrari
Mercedes modified car in 10 areas for Barcelona while Ferrari and Red Bull only brought minor upgrades
Barcelona one of the least engine-dependent tracks on the calendar, but Mercedes as dominant as ever
Vettel denies that lack of visible progress since pre-season testing is sign of Ferrari running out of ideas, "We are in our plan, and rather concentrate on many small changes than large upgrade packages. Our problem is that at the beginning of the season we were not as close to Mercedes as we had hoped and now we have to catch up more."
Tyre pressures:
Ferrari continue to suspect Mercedes as one of the two teams capable of lowering tyre pressures below the starting pressure, which Mercedes continue to deny
ability to keep pressures low could explain why Mercedes can quickly switch on tyres without overworking them in the race and could also explain their superior performance in low and mid-speed corners
Red Bull calm about tyre pressures, which points towards them being one of the two teams in question; otherwise Red Bull would not hesitate to attack the competition
tyre pressure trick revolves around controlling the heat coming off the brakes and going into the wheel rims; simple in principle, but very difficult to get to work
Ferrari used test in Barcelona trying to get on top of tyre pressure issues, which appears to have been successful
FIA want to monitor tyre pressure starting in Monaco in real time to better understand the situation; the goal is to enforce minimum on-track tyre pressures in the future
Engine issues:
Mercedes still haven't found reason for Hamilton's engine issues
before Barcelona Mercedes as a precautionary measure changed wiring loom of the car and put in only example of a modified MGU-H, his 4th unit
Hamilton used ICE number 2 from Sochi in Barcelona; the first engine is also still in the pool
Mercedes developing at the limit
Rosberg's change of ICE and MGU-K in Barcelona was not planned
Mercedes found metal residues in the oil, but since the engine is sealed they could not find the faulty part
