As pre-season winter testing has come to an end, McLaren looks back on a troubled 12 days, admitting the team will face a difficult start to the season.
And yet people had faith in Bottas Leading Williams all by himself.....f1316 wrote:Not sure we can draw too many conclusions about toro rosso drivers just yet- for exactly the same reason we can't with the cars: they haven't done any of the meaningful work yet.
Personally I look back and think of the vettel/bourdais combination as being their finest. Often gets forgotten that bourdais was third on the grid in the famous monza 2008 race and had his big opportunity ruined by stalling on the grid.
Also- and I'm prepared to eat humble pie on this after ricciardo- I think red bull is sacrificing a lot of experience in their entire lineup which may come back to bite them. It's a conscious strategy on their part, but there's no one in any of the four cars with a wealth of experience, and conventional logic would tell you it's not the best recipe for success.
Time will tell, I guess.

More likely was just a virus or cold.

However I do have to question how it could be a virus or a cold.

I had the flu once - knocked me out for a full month and I was not 100% until a couple of months after that. Since then I laugh when people claim to have the flu yet they are still walking.
