From this we can infer that Pirelli intend to promote more pit stops and that Ferrari's strengths will be played to. What we don't know is whether or not Mercedes new car and design philosophy can stand a war fought on tyre wear as opposed to Horse Power and fuel efficiency.We also now know that Mercedes ability to be flexible and read a race is as poor as it was in Hungary 2014. Two thirds of the race in, and they were still convinced they were on for a one-two and juggling Lewis and Nico's strategies accordingly, and in the interests of fairness.</blockquote>
