What is interesting is that his Mercedes is one tyre compound plus quicker than the opposition. Whilst Ricciardo joins him on the front row, he did so because he was using the super-softs to set his time, whilst Rosberg was able to better him by about half a second but on the softs.

This pretty well re-affirms my conviction the Mercedes are dominating F1 presently not just because they have a far superior PU, but because they have produced a vastly better overall package that the rest of the pit lane; this would include the chassis, the aero and the power-unit at a minimum.

IMO, I think Red Bull have a better chassis/areo than Mercedes but that TAG/Renault power plant is still woefully down on Mercedes.
