I wouldn't be suprised if there was a suprise contender this season. There has been so much rework under the skin of all these cars.
One of the Mercedes technical people, mentioned that they had to create brand new suspension package (not a easy ask), redo the entire wiring package and so on.
Someone maybe outside of the top three may have a idea like the braun diffuser and gate crash the party.
Normally preseason testing doesnt really interest me as there is alot of sandbagging. But i wonder if it will be different this year as you need to get an idea if your car is competitive. The GPS overlays will give you a good idea of your competition, but at some point you need to go for a 90% all out lap to get an idea of where you stand, or maybe not.
