Instead, the troubled reigning champions tested alongside F1’s other ten teams in Bahrain, just two weeks before the revolutionary 2014 season kicks off.<\/p>\n
“In England we could respond more quickly,” Vettel admitted to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport, as the team continued to struggle with the RB10.<\/p>\n
Some insiders think Red Bull will struggle to get out of the initial ‘Q1’ segment in Melbourne later this month.<\/p>\n
Vettel hinted Red Bull remained committed to the final pre-season test only to help engine supplier Renault more generally get up to speed.<\/p>\n
“I think it was absolutely the right decision to come here,” he said before leaving Bahrain.\u00a0 “It is down to us that we have not done enough.”<\/p>\n
The Austrian team, boss Christian Horner and now the German himself have denied reports Vettel recently threw a “hissy fit” when he realised the scale of Red Bull’s crisis.<\/p>\n
“I’m annoyed of course that I cannot drive,” he admitted.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s worse for the mechanics, crawling around all day on the floor putting the car together for the umpteenth time.<\/p>\n
“But I don’t see anybody getting upset, even if it is a hard time at the moment of course,” added Vettel.<\/p>\n
And at the end of the day, it might not be all bad for Red Bull — insiders at Mercedes claim that GPS data has proved that when the Adrian Newey-penned car is running properly, it is fast in the corners.<\/p>\n
“Of the few laps we have had, the feeling was pretty good,” Vettel confirmed.\u00a0 “But I can’t tell you more.”<\/p>\n
