JB is the perfect development driver for that car. Smooth on the mechanicals and rich in the feedback given to the engineers. That car is a good car. Those corner speeds tell you that much. As soon as they have some confidence to turn the power up and increase downforce it will be up there with Ferrari and Williams.
Red Bull I have no sympathy for. They knew the Renault engine was s*** last year and have backed the wrong horse again this year on the forlorn hope that Renault would be able to make up lost ground.
