Red Bull's Spanish cakewalk
Red Bull may not be expecting another dominant display in Monaco this weekend, but Mark Webber's form in Spain suggests the team is still hot favourite in the principality. Adam Cooper looks at the facts from Barcelona
In Monaco on Thursday it was the turn of Ferrari to grab a little glory as Fernando Alonso topped the times in both sessions. But Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull weren't far behind, despite the unique nature of the venue giving the opposition a chance to shake things up. Nevertheless Vettel felt he still had to find some speed. Meanwhile Mark Webber was surprisingly chirpy, despite being down in 10th.
Monaco may be a lottery, but one thing already seems certain - even if the team takes another pole, Red Bull won't have the sort of margin of superiority that we saw in qualifying in Barcelona, where it had nearly a second on the opposition.
