Or maybe 6 if you think that Merc will come good on a flat billiard table type track.

I tend to think that its very unrealistic to expect much more parity in the first year of the new regulations. While they are not helping things by breaking their own rules by extending the budget cap and letting the big teams spend even more money, hopefully we might see more consolidation in solutions and actual race pace in the next few years. I tend to think this season will see the most drama (some teams getting it badly wrong vs. other getting it significantly right)
