Max Verstappen has reflected positively on his first week of testing the RB13 however the Dutchman believes that Mercedes are still the team to beat, despite a regulation change designed to make the field more competitive.
The Silver Arrows set the most amount of laps over the four days and almost went without glitches, before an electrical issue ruled out Lewis Hamilton's running on Thursday.
"Mercedes is still in the advantage in terms of power over us, I think we can do well during the season and fight with them," Verstappen said.
"I have not seen shocking things during the first week. Moreover, we do not look at other teams, we focused on the first week on our own program and have yet to see how strong the others really are."
