Mark Webber predicts another Mercedes dominated season

Mark Webber believes that Mercedes will once again have the upper hand in 2020 following pre season testing, which saw Ferrari seemingly struggle with Mercedes still quickest. Webber previously said that Ferrari would be the better car this season, but now says Mercedes will be too good.

The Silver Arrows have dominated since the rule changes in 2014, winning every drivers' and constructors' title since, with Lewis Hamilton taking five of those.

Ferrari were only able to win two races last season and Red Bull just three as Mercedes were way ahead and former Red Bull driver Webber doesn't see that changing.

He predicted in the Sydney Morning Herald: “I think Merc will be too tough for them to handle, operationally and with Lewis.

“The power unit is incredibly reliable with Mercedes, and Ferrari have shown signs of weakness in reliability phases.

“I would love to see Ferrari sitting on the front row. they were very good in qualifying last year, but there are no points in qualifying, you have to put the race together."
