The start of the 2015 Formula One season is less than two weeks away, and the data from the final test suggests Mercedes look to have retained their edge over the competition.

With an apparent advantage similar to that which they enjoyed at the end of 2014, it's likely Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg will be occupying the top two steps of the podium on March 15.

The identity of the driver on the third step is harder to predict.

Williams look very strong, as do Ferrari. Red Bull appear a little bit behind, but last season taught us to never write them off. McLaren could come out of nowhere to join the party, or maybe Lotus will do as they did in 2013 and do far better than anticipated.

We won't know for sure where each team is until we've seen them together on the same piece of race track, at the same time, doing the same thing.

But pre-season testing can give us a few clues. As our long wait for the season to start enters its final phases, here's how the teams rank based on what we saw in across the three tests.

 

Note on Power Rankings

F1 power rankings ignore the points table (when one exists) and instead present a snapshot of where each team currently stand in relation to their competitors based on reliability, qualifying and race pace.

During testing, we look at apparent speed and reliability, and the rankings are created based on where each team would finish if there was a race immediately after the test. Teams less likely to manage the distance are, of course, ranked lower.

All position changes are relative to those in the previous set of rankings, which you can find here.
