i know its not the end of the world but it seems that this stuff always happen to us...thats our probleem. McLaren have never ran smooth in testing. If you look at RB, Merc; Ferrari, Etc they always seem to run consistent...

Commentators placing Mclaren between 2nd and 4th right now.

Apparently, the paddock widely believes that RB are hiding a lot of pace.

Testing is hardly ever straightforward for McLaren, is it? Even when the car is reliable they spend more time in the pits than most
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

The team did say that we'd look to start where we left off. Which by the end was tied for 2nd.

My gut is that we are similar to Merc, but I'm slightly concerned Ferrari are ahead.

Naturally I'm confident the team will continue to push hard and it will be close.

Ferrari always run well at bahrain. Suits their car characteristics of running softer, amazing engine, and having excellent traction. I think any delta between McL and Ferrari cars will swing in Ferrari's favour at this circuit compared to rest of the calendar

You don't know that it suits their characteristics, you only know that it has done in the past, it's a different car...
