F1 testing was shorter than ever in 2021, giving the teams just three days to get themselves ready for the new season. Things look good for Red Bull, but is Mercedes really on the back foot? Scott Mitchell looks at the fortunes of the two teams at the front of the grid, and picks out the other things we've learned from F1 pre-season in Bahrain

These at The Race are more of brazen racists putting up Hamilton and hairsplitting n' in what looks making him a long pursued scapegoat for everything. The idiots at The Race made it unreasonable and envious when they came out barking Russel for Hamilton replacement in their trash bag argument. Blowing things out of proportion is an idiocy; regardless of all coming results and performances Sir Luis Hamilton outshines all the rest and keeps on progressing proving you one barking donkeys.

Mercedes is Definitely Sandbaggin, idk but i feel like the reason all this like W12 spinning out is part of their plan in Testing, theyre like Merc: Hmmm lets see, will the Car spin this adjustment? Later on *the car did spin* Also Merc: alright Not that one, Lets try another adjustment Cuz i think its coincidence that they're doing that cuz this year is a Big Adjustment cuz of the New Regulations I BET that if there were no regulations changed, Mercedes will set top 1 in Testing already

If Mercedes can sort their engine cooling issue they'll be as superior as they have always been. They had about 50hp reserve that they didn't use during winter testing. Aston Martin had the same issues as Mercedes team.

I think Ricardo beating Norris within a day or two means Norris long term future at McLaren is in doubt. He is a nice guy and very funny but F1 is a serious business and he isn’t quick enough if he can be beaten so easily and quickly by Ricardo. I predict no contract extension in the summer...

In 1991, Ferrari had shown in pre season testing to be fast. At the first race, Senna put his Mclaren MP4/6 on pole position by a margin of 1.1 seconds faster than said Ferrari. Ferrari never won a race that season. Testing means nothing in terms of points and championships.

Let's assume that Mercedes and Red Bull are equal this year. If so, the question of who really is the better driver, Max or Lewis, will be answered. Personally I'm tipping Max but I've been wrong before.

I find it really annoying how everybody ignores the fact that the Mercedes were very unstable. Sandbagging does not lead to instability. Yes Mercedes might have some more pace still left, but it doesn’t change the fact that the cars were hard to drive. Simply saying Mercedes is sandbagging doesn’t look at all the facts.

We all know that the only reason for the FIA to move pre season testing to Bahrain is so that Mercedes could have enough sand for their pre season car setup. That's how pros do their sandbagging!
