Ferrari themselves have been a lot more open to the media recently and seem more confident compared to recent years.

With that said, they’ll be hoping to hit the ground running in Melbourne and try to get the advantage over Mercedes early on.

A key factor in whether the Scuderia will be able to challenge will be if Vettel can iron out his mistakes which plagued him in 2018.

It won’t all rest on Vettel’s shoulders though, as Ferrari themselves haven’t been the best at making strategic decisions in the past, something they will need to get on top of if they want bring a title back to Maranello.

The first race of the 2019 Formula One World Championship will take place in Melbourne, Australia at the Albert Park Circuit on Sunday 17th March.
