Iwan Kemp Posted February 25, 2014 Share Sheesh. That's one helluva difference there, Iwan Yeah. And it gets worse when you look at the mileage done: http://www.f1times.co.uk/news/cache/images/bahrain-test-mileage.png http://www.f1times.co.uk/news/cache/images/jerez-bahrain.png Edited February 25, 2014 by Iwan Kemp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Didn't Red Bull miss out completely on the Bahrain or first few test days last year?Seemed to have had a positive effect... Anyway I hope its not a one horse bull race this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted February 25, 2014 Share Agree it does not look stellar from the Bulls at this stage. And yeah, the now have a slightly different focus and things distracting them relative to Merc teams. But... write them off at your own peril.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 3, 2014 Share Just read Vettels post test interview and while he says the pace is not worrying him, he is concerned about the Renaults reliability. That being said he cam across as being very confident, with his usual smugness.Wouldn't write him off just yet on the numbers alone. I reckon a top 3 in Melbourne at least.............

Iwan Kemp Posted March 3, 2014 Share Not so sure. Max amount of laps they've done in go was 17 which is not nearly enough. I think it will be a Mercedes, Williams, Ferrari fight (from what I've read) with the other Merc engines biting at their heals. Lotus, RBR and Caterham will most likely be chuffed just to see the finish line. But what do I know, read here for the pro's view on it!http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2014/03/analysis-the-pecking-order-after-the-most-unpredictable-f1-winter-tests-for-years/ I don't care if it's Merc whitewash, as long as Rosberg and Hamilton fight each other to last corner of the last lap of the last race of the year. Or the first corner of the last race of the year and I will most likely watch some Senna vs Prost YouTube videos as soon as I've posted this...

Anyway I will continue to support my driver. If he should win I don't think it will be able to be attributed to a good car. As long as that annoying Hamilton doesn't win!!!Suprise for me is Massa, everyone wrote him off after his big accident and look now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted March 3, 2014 Share I was reading the comments on the bbc F1 website, where they have now renamed the Red Bull to the Dead Bull. Had a good laugh at that one. Hope its true. Fernando gonna do it this year. Edited March 3, 2014 by Johny Bravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massa suffers from the same issue as Pedrosa - mentally not strong enough. I think he'll be strong in the first part of this year, but as soon as Bottas finds his rhythm and out-qualify and out-race Massa he will struggle mentally. But I seriously hope Williams has found good form and pace. Lots of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
