Red Bull’s qualifying pace in Barcelona was “formidable” and “frightening”, according to leading members of the Mercedes team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Michael Schumacher on Saturday was happy to have outqualified a teammate for the first time since 2006, but he also admitted to being humbled by the 1.3 second gap to pole position.<\/p>\n

“You have to say that the gap to the front is extra large, even frightening,” he is quoted by German media.<\/p>\n

Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn described the pace of the RB6 in Spain as “formidable”.<\/p>\n

The long and fast corners at Barcelona always particularly reward the cars with the best aerodynamics.<\/p>\n

“I think simply their car is perfect on this track.\u00a0 If they had the same cars from China here, I think it would look not too different,” said Schumacher.<\/p>\n

Norbert Haug, however, acknowledged that while Mercedes may have taken a step forward in Spain, “perhaps others have improved even more”.<\/p>\n
