While the renault is a bit down on power to the merc the main reason for this is car setup. Red bull have always gone for a setup which maximises outright pace over overtaking ability (downforce, gearing etc) with the aim that the put it on pole and bugger off into the distance. In traffic they've never been great at getting through the field even when they were dominant.
It was interesting watching Vettel remember how to make passes that didn't involve a blue flag this race.
Whoomah!
Supersoft tires, reduced ballast. Max Chilton had topped the charts the day before.
