World champion Sebastian Vettel has had a torrid start to pre-season testing, completing just 11 laps over the first two days in his new Red Bull.

The German, winner of the last four titles, finished early on Wednesday after suffering an energy-recovery system failure on his Renault engine.

Vettel had managed just three slow laps on the first day after Red Bull encountered problems building the car.

Teams had warned that the complexity of the new engines would lead to problems.

So, now on day 4 and Merc have run 10 times the laps red bull have . ouch

 

Looks promising, I can't wait until Bahrain when they open the taps and we get to hear what the engine will really sound like... then hopefully it'll sound a little better. Will never be as ood as it was though

I see Rosberg has just completed the first race distance simulation though... 91 laps so far... very impressive!

 

Nope, thats the 2nd of his full race simulations lol
