BARCELONA, Spain -- If you'd predicted five consecutive Mercedes one-twos the last time the Formula One circus was at the Circuit de Catalunya, you'd have been laughed out of the paddock. But that's exactly what the team achieved at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday.
Mercedes has gone from strength to strength since winter testing, while Ferrari has stuttered and stumbled at key points. The fifth race of the year was another poor display from the Italian team, so we must start out review of the good, the bad and the ugly of this race with the team we all hoped would be locked in a championship battle this season.
