    Looks like piggingheck was right on target, however it wouldn't be Y!A if the correct answer was always picked as the best one, would it?

    I never thought he was overrated. He, Vettel and Geoff Willis are the reason why Redbull has already won a race while Toyota is still dreaming about it. And that is despite the fact that Toyota has a double decked diffuser. Redbull keeps growing on me more and more with every year that passes.

    EDIT: I found an old question that I asked about 1 year ago, about wether or not people thought Renault could hire Newey and Willis. I still think they should have!

    Yes he was trading with Hamilton and Alonso in Malaysia... When they were both in uncompetitive cars. Hamilton's car really was slow, but he didnt't make it easy for Webber to get by, and even took him back a few times. Surely if Webber had that much of a performance advantage he would have begun to pull away?

    If they cannot find a way of getting the double deck diffuser around the pull rod suspension they could well get out developed.

    It is also hard to know what would have happened if the race had been run in the dry.

    So it really is hard to know. Maybe we will have a straight race in Bahrain, and we will find out just how good each team is.

    Still fragile cars.

    Both drivers were worried that their cars would not last the race. They had driveshaft problems in China, but thanks to the rain, as the cars were not going as fast as they would in the dry, the load on the driveshaft was not as great. Had it been a dry race, maybe they might have had a double retirement.

    They look like they will be competitive this year, but to win the championship, they need more than just speed and good drivers. Reliability is first and foremost.
