The team of world champions started this year's first tests in Jerez, to put it mildly, catastrophically. Already on the first day, Vettel had a lot of problems, mainly with Renault generators, control system and installation in RB10. Because of all this, they had to stop testing early at Red Bull, where they drove only 21 laps.
Red Bull chief of aerodynamics Peter Prodromou moved to McLarn last year, and Mark Ellis and Gilles Wood also left. This could of course be a reason for poorer form this season, but the owner of the Mateschitz team is not worried: “Personnel departures do not affect the current form, as we only have problems with engines and not with our team, which is still very motivated and working. at the highest possible level. "
The 69-year-old, who has been closely monitoring winter testing since 1995, says he expected a difficult start, but we should come to Bahrain with solutions: “The truth will only be visible when we are on the track in Melbourne. Now it's all up to us and Renault to find solutions and prepare as much as possible. For once, we have nothing to worry about, because even a bad start to the season does not mean the loss of the championship. After a few bad races, you still have a realistic chance of winning the championship. "
