i felt the same way. recent year ferrai's where no where as good as this looks like, not twitchy at all very responsive to steering input and does not slide at all. very good sign.
I've been watching F1 for 20 years and it's been more than a few years since I've seen a Ferrari with such a sharp front end, judging by that lap from Raikkonen. To be fair it's the biggest change of regulation (i.e. speed differential from one year to the next) that I've seen in my time watching the sport so perhaps every other team has made similar improvements, but if Mercedes are indeed quicker this year then it will be hard to begrudge them, because I can have very few complaints about that Ferrari, it's such a content looking car on the track.
