Meanwhile Toto Wolff, Mercedes
motorsport director, said he was surprised by the torrid start world
champions Red
Bull enjoyed to pre-season testing in Jerez last week.
“Personally I am surprised,” he said. “The problems on the
first and second day were expected, but finishing the test with almost no
mileage is not what I would have expected from Red Bull.”
Red Bull admitted they will have to return “to the drawing board” to solve
their issues with the RB10, but have said they are confident it can be fixed
by the start of the second test in Bahrain, which starts on February 19.
