Those comments by Alonso were made mid November last year if I'm not mistaken.
In other news, apparently Vettel's new chassis he is getting for Spain will not only be |

I think there has been some talk of the lack of rear downforce on the current Red Bull car(no blown diffuser) - and how Vettel isn't used to that. It's one of the things suggested for his current woes. Even though - it's still a bit too early to write Fingerman off yet. The Red Bull seems to have a decent chassis and good aero(Mr. Newey) - it's just the engine that is a bit too weak at the moment. I suspect that by the middle of the season it might be back up on top of the pile.

Wonder how long it will be before the FIA bans this form of testing as too expensive as well! How dare Seb practice! Does he think F1 is a sport? Real racing drivers join bands! Last edited by wnut; 3 May 2014 at 04:11. |

Agreed ! It's an outrage. Band ? He should be banned from all forms of motor sport forever. Off with his head !

It's fair to say he's exceeded most of our expectations. I thought he'd be better than Webber was in his final days, though, but hadn't expected he'd have what is seemingly the upper hand at this point.
I get the sense that we'll see a Vettel resurgence though and wouldn't even count him out for the title if Hamilton and Rosberg "take points off each other". |

It sounds like Red Bull found a fault with Vettel's RB10 that was swapped out this past weekend. When they measured the old chassis that was used for the first 4 races they found it to be warped. It is suspected that this produced unpredictable behavior when trail braking, causing Vettel to back up the corner, ruining corner exit speeds. It is also being blamed for excessive tire deg.

Sounds like an airfix kit stuck together by a 7 year old newby, not an advanced carbon fiber monocoque built by the best craftsmen in the world in a jig! This has to stick out like a sore thumb on the testing and measuring rigs! Any ideas? |

I would imagine that the warping was slight, but Vettel did look much improved in Spain, especially under braking during those passes.

Just what could Ricciardo have done in the RBR last year? Super job by him versus a four-time champion.

Agreed. Love his commitment and cheery way he goes about things. Vettel must be smarting...

This is already better than Webber VS Vettel. The more this goes on, the more we have to think it might not be so temporary.
