Video: an onboard compare between Ferrari 2017 and Mercedes 2016

The official Formula1 website has put up an on-board compare between Kimi Raikkonen's fastest lap in pre-season testing and Lewis Hamilton's pole lap in 2016.

The video clearly reveals the difference in speed and performance between the new generation of F1 cars and the 2016 machines.

Ferrari's Raikkonen emerges ahead of Mercedes' Hamilton around a tour of the Circuit de Catalunya with a 3.366s margin.

Needless to say, the 2017 cars will only get quicker, further increasing the gap with their predecessors.
