The F1 Circus begins this weekend in Melbourne, with the new cars for the 2017 season. With wider tyres and different aero packages, it is expected that lap times will be quicker, but passing will be more difficult. The testing has indicated that Ferrari may be the one to beat, though it is always difficult to compare test times with race times.
