Good F1 Analysis

If you were wondering what the F1 teams were up to over the winter and which teams have the best chance, check out this excellent analysis of winter testing. Here's the money quote:
Analyzing those 16 group test days as a "mini-season" of sorts, Massa "won" six times in 13 appearances, a strike rate of almost 50%, double the amount of the second "winningest" driver, Fernando Alonso, who made only 11 appearances.  The only other multiple victors, with two apiece, were BMW's Nick Heidfeld and McLaren tester Pedro de la Rosa.  Ralf Schumacher, David Couthard and McLaren rookie Lewis Hamilton topped the charts once each, which puts the silver team's total "win" tally at six, tied with Ferrari.
We shall see this month in Australia.
