I initially thought that Mercedes had been let off very lightly from the 'secret' test saga, but missing the Silverstone test with the further revised tyres will disadvantage them significantly I would have thought, especially as it's clear that they haven't sorted their tyre 'deg' problems out yet when it's hot or the compounds are marginal.
The three other World Champions on the grid are not having a great time. Lewis can't get that victory on the board despite prodigious qualifying speed. Jenson drove a great race on Sunday for McLaren but it's for the minor placings rather than the podium or victory. And I wonder how long Ferrari can tame the ambitions of Fernando Alonso if they don't soon give him a faster car.
