RedBull Racing pair fastest at Albert Park

Is it just me or am I noticing that the recent results for practices, qualifying and finals, that the top drivers usually comes in pair from the same constructors.

Practice #2 yesterday saw McLaren fill up the top two spot, and the Ferrari duo finished 1-2 in Bahrain. Well maybe it’s just coincidences eh.

Well the pair of RedBull Racing F1 drivers of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber outclassed the rest of the field with their consistent showing during qualifying.

It was never in doubt that RedBull has a fast mean car, and they’re a team to watch this season.
