Yes, I agree that it wasn't
sensational, but it was a very solid performance from someone who hasn't raced for over a year.
Remember, he was actually leading on pace. He was putting time into Vettel not holding him up.
Red Bull's strategy is to load on as much df as possible, gain pole and then run away. The downside to that is they have to use shorter gears and have a lower top speed than some of the competition so even with DRS fully open they can't overtake easily. If the strategy doesn't work and they fall out of position they have a problem.
I wonder if the fact that Force India has led both the last GP's on merit might mean that they could well spring a surprise if the cards fall their way one weekend, the way Sauber and Williams did last year?
