Top three teams are all sandbagging. I don't expect the pecking order to change...RB, Ferrari, Merc.

In my opinion Horner should be most worried about Ferrari. They had a seriously quick car last year, but with a poorly managed team and some questionable driving at times.
It's tough to tell how much sandbagging was going on. RB didnt seem to do much testing on the C5 tire and seemingly stuck to the harder C3/C4 tires yet were faster on these than anyone else was (sans Zhou by .04) on the C5. So was it that RB was sandbagging some, but the others were pushing harder and will only show slower pace on the C3/C4 that are more indicative of a race/quali day tire?
