Lewis Hamilton enjoys golden start to #F1 season TESTING

While Lewis Hamilton appeared to be the driver holding Willy Wonka’s golden ticket in his gloved hand, old rival Fernando Alonso looked like he had been sucking on lemons.

Not much has changed there, then. The first day of Formula One’s pre-season testing at the dawn of the post-Bernie Ecclestone era saw Hamilton’s Mercedes team lead the field in terms of times set and, more importantly at this stage, laps completed.

Ferrari were close, Sebastian Vettel finishing one tenth of a second behind Britain’s Hamilton. But a warning: the Scuderia have been fast in previous tests, only for early data to later prove illusory.
