They will be back in Style, as soon as they can use the new chassis, reposition the exhaust, remove a couple degrees of rear wing flap, start using softs at the end of races, and hopefully get rid of Massa.

Merc is slower than Ferrari on pace, and tire fading is worse for them too.

Fernando is worth 7th-8th on the grid, not 12th, he spun out.

The SC destroyed his medium tires temps and with light fuel and a colder track he could not build the heat back into the tires... softs would have really helped a lot.

The middle section of the race, Nando was faster than Webber, and for a few laps faster than Vettel.

This means that the potential is there. They are running too much rear wing to make up the lost downforce from exhaust/diffuser disaster.....

Watch them in Europe...
I'm not sure Australia gave a good indicator of Ferrari's performance as its very much a stop start track and a bit of a one-off. Wait until Sepang where the long fast corners give a better aero workout than Melbourne and I think Ferrari's weaknesses will be exposed more.
