A time of change?

The return from the Americas is traditionally a time at which Formula 1 teams introduce major updates to their cars and, as a result, we often see a change in the hierarchy as a result. All the teams are working hard on week-to-week changes but this is the opportunity for a more fundamental change and all eyes will be on the teams that have underperformed so far this year as this is their chance to make up the ground they have lost in the early part of the year. In all probability we will still be seeing Ferrari versus Renault at the front but McLaren has been sneaking closer in recent weeks and there have even been signs of improvement from Toyota and Honda. Williams too is in a position where an improvement is likely.
