Yesterday, we saw Jenson Button win the season opening Australian GP, doing so comfortably ahead of double world champ Seb Vettel and dejected teammate Lewis Hamilton. The Brit was blazing in Melbourne, but we know now that he could have gone even faster! Red Bull, take note.
“We were more than marginal. Had we raced unfettered we would not have got to the finish line with either car, so from lap eight we were in severe fuel saving mode,” said team boss Martin Whitmarsh. “I think unquestionably we could have gone a little bit quicker. We had a quick car here, and we should have got a 1-2, but we are not too displeased with where we are,” he added.
Whitmarsh went on to praise his driver. “Jenson did a fantastic job. He turned it on when he needed to. When he thought that Vettel after the safety car was going to get into a DRS zone he just opened the gap, so I think it was testament to him. He drove a really beautiful race: smooth, controlling, and he pressed when he needed to – just like a champion would”.
Hard to disagree :)
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
so they beat the step nose theory… screw you Ferrari!
Remember 2010, Red Bull didn’t win the first 2 races, but we know how it ended. Newey-Vettel pairing is the most fearsome pairing on the grid. Hopefully I’m right here lol
Here’s to an exciting weekend at Sepang!
