Seen by many as the de facto favourite for the 2018 title, Lewis Hamilton will aim to strike the right note once again this year.

The four-time world champion set the tone in last week's weather-impacted first installment of pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Week 2, which gets underway tomorrow, will hopefully project a clearer picture of everyone's performance level, but it's likely the Mercedes driver will still lead the chorus.
