I would say you can answer these questions on Friday. We will see if RB and the other Renault teams can do more than 20 laps with both cars.myurr wrote:I don't think many would predict that the Red Bull wouldn't be in the points if it were to finish the race. There are two big questions: 1) Can the RB finish the race? 2) Can it finish the race without significantly compromising its pace.nathaly63oriosa wrote:The results from testing have certainly thrown up some interesting talking points. I still think it’s a brave man that predicts Vettel missing out on points all together given that in the entirety of his time with Red Bull he’s only finished outside the points on two occasions when retirements/DNFs are excluded.
I also think most would agree that those are two questions largely unknown by all, even the team.
If they can do that they will also have a good chance to finish the race, because then there is no more than the usual problems like last year with leaks or breaking "usual" things.
Regarding pace I only see the Merc powered cars and Ferrari in one league. All the rest is another, quite similar league. Or did you see any nice pace from Sauber or Marussia?
