I think we might need this thread going forward. To kick it off, here's an article by Martin Brundle taking about their performances....and others at China.
He mentions , as I did in the Bahrain preview, that it seems number ones are becoming apparent in Mercedes and Ferrari.
He also talks about the respect and smiles on the podium rather than some of the long faces we've seen of late....

"The excitement, respect and sense of happiness on the podium was very evident to me which is why I felt the need to mention it. In recent years it's occasionally felt like a dentist's waiting room up there among the lucky but grumpy victors, but not any more."
I think I have an answer for that.
From Vettel's perspective, he's up there with a car that can do the business after a few years of not having the tools at his disposal.
From Hamiltons perspective, he feels he has a worthy opponent, and one in a different team. One who won't be using his own data against him. So this year Hamilton knows he will have the team right behind him rather than sometimes hindering him.
I think both are relishing the challenge.
