Can Ferrari muscle in on the Mercedes show?

Mercedes have danced around their rivals for the past two seasons, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg unstoppable in 16 of the 19 races in 2014, and matching that ridiculous superiority last year. Sebastien Vettel, in his first season for Ferrari, picked up crumbs from Mercedes' overladen plate in Malaysia, Hungary, and Singapore.

Trying to fathom out concrete conclusions from pre-season testing is nigh on impossible, such is the veil of secrecy teams delight in throwing up around car set-ups, fuel loads, tyres, etc etc. But on the face of it, eight days of testing in Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya suggest Ferrari are not a million miles away from the Silver Arrows, as underlined by Rosberg: "We know Ferrari are very close - but we're not sure if we're ahead or behind."
