Mercedes have joked on social media that Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas will be driving to Melbourne in their F1 cars. Even though they've got the quickest car, they still might be arriving late...

No, no, no. This isn’t a “race week” tweet. It’s a “I’m flying to the race this week” tweet #AusGP pic.twitter.com/5yM1kH7nV2

Formula 2 will race with 18-inch tyres in the 2020 season before F1 makes the switch in 2021. Testing started today in Bahrain, and the first pictures of the new big tyres. Thoughts?
