Yeah it could - so maybe MB won't be right at the pointy end for some time - often happens after a period of dominance. Or, they could at least be pushing Ferrari, Red Bull and maybe Aston and be in the mix. Will be one of the things to watch this year.

Yeah I get that but the difficulty is the unique surface at Bahrain - we've seen teams do well there and not elsewhere before but that may not happen this time - we'll know after a few races.
