Are RedBull using monochamo to try to hide the fact that their car appears to be last years Mercedes?

Can you think of a better car to copy?

To be honest I think the chassis that RBR had last year was if anything better than the Merc

No one else seemed to do anything with a Renault, so you might be right. Originally Posted by anfield5

It will be interesting to see how RBR go with no Adrian Newey to lead them. Hopefully for them his genius has rubbed off on the new design team.

Newey essentially trained all those people so I suspect they will be ok. If the new car is problematic I am sure Newey will come back for as long as it takes to get them competitive.

He was in Jerez giving interviews to the press about the car yesterday, I wonder how big a "step back" he has really taken. Originally Posted by anfield5

Haven't really analyzed properly of what is going on.
But guess that Mercedes is probably going to dominate again.
McLaren-Honda was always in for a slow start. Let's see how much can they iron out issues and improve for the start of the season. They have the steepest learning curve.
It is never easy to replace geniuses. Otherwise all the students of a genius would also be genuises. But it really doesn't work like that in the real world - there are a few geniuses and usually students to not match up to that talent. Originally Posted by anfield5

To be honest. I must add I have never been so unexcited about the start of a new season/testing/etc. Because I feel that nothing interesting is going to happen this year and mostly a continuation of the 'same old' from last year. Everything is too "predictable". Mercedes will win anyway. Behind them we have the usual strong teams. And lower down the field our small privateer teams, who lack finances and struggle to survive.Last edited by jens; 2nd February 2015 at 17:21.

That was exactly the qualifying podium I would have predicted. Never A new record for red flags and a very interesting session. A lot of the suspected frontrunners took themselves out of...
