After two further days of testing, Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher says it is still far too early to start making predictions as to who's hot and who's not.
"At the moment, every kilometre helps to increase our understanding of the car," he writes on his personal website. "It's very tough still to understand the order of the teams just yet as everyone can play so much with the fuel loads and even the weight distribution.
"To me, it looks as if the expected four teams - us, Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull - are upfront, but also Sauber seems to be good so far. At the end of this week's programme we can say the car looks good. But then, as usual at this period prior to the season, there is still a lot to happen. Only at the start of the season we will probably know more in the end."
