SO Red Bull half cured one overheating problem, only to shift it to another part of the car. Autosport suggesting Vettel's spin was caused by rear brakes overheating! So much work needed on that car just to make it last more than a few laps it's hard to see it being competitive even when they sort out the various cooling issues as it will end up ruining the aero.
for the context, look how wet his hair is, and the water dripping, is it a person tearing their hair out in some sort of hissy fit? or someone just brushing water through their hair to keep cool in desert conditions and pulling the sort of face you'd expect for someone doing that? I guess it depends on the slant the captioneer decides to give it.
It's a pretty exasperated look he has on his face, even for someone brushing water through their hair............ Silver's input on this would be quite good. RBR definitely feeling the pressure at the moment as they just cannot get the car to run properly, let alone find out whether it's quick.
Haha, remember when he said, "remember these moments, they won't last forever"? I think this is what Seb meant.
Red Bulls car has some raw pace but having the foundation to apply that pace to isn't there just yet. You have seen Mercedes, Ferrari and McClaren- all working on getting a solid benchmark for them to them to develop. It will be a very long season though and lots of development going on, almost week to week- fascinating. Very much a long race!
He'd be quite entitled to look frustrated. He's a racing driver and wants to get out there and put some miles on the new car. I'd be more concerned if he didn't give a crap.
Any real clues to the pecking order at the moment folks or do we just know who is more reliable than others so far?
Something like that... Not entirely sure where it was. Either way, he's got every right to be as frustrated as hell. I would be.
Hard to say... Will reliability issues surface more when they really start turning the wick up on these cars? And since we've really not seen them really get the hammer down... It's hard to say. The McLaren looks a bit tasty though.
Lol, Rosberg stopped on track five minutes into the session. Alonso is the fastest so far - 1:37.700. However he just did two purple sectors before pitting, so obviously there's a lot more speed in the Ferrari. Alonso - 1m37.700s (15 laps) Hulkenberg - 1m38.394s (11 laps) Bottas - 1m38.615s (15 laps) Magnussen - 1m39.958s (8 laps) Vergne - 1m40.609s (35 laps) Rosberg - 1m40.932s (18 laps) Gutierrez - 1m41.660s (20 laps) Vettel - 1m41.850s (4 laps) Chilton - 1m42.511s (12 laps) Kobayashi (2 laps) Grosjean (1 lap)

Scuderia Ferrari ‏@InsideFerrari 6s Smooth programme so far but the wind has increased a lot: not ideal conditions! Alonso returns to the pits and does more burnouts
Clearly Rosberg was told to empty the car out, look how quick they went back out again. Never saw that from Ferrari with their power units when it always took them 3-4hrs to go back out. Nothing to see apart from Ferrari's race sim without the chimney. *rubs hands*
