Topping F1 pre-season testing come Saturday's final timesheet isn't necessarily a good thing...
Sandbagging is a term often associated with F1 testing yet the practice has evolved over recent years.
That was the approach Vettel adopted at the beginning of another Ferrari resurgence in 2017, when after two winless seasons in three it was becoming increasingly clear that F1’s most famous team were back in contention. Max Verstappen’s belief in Red Bull was also slightly misplaced in 2020 when, as the time ticked towards the end of the final day of winter testing, he backed off in the final sector of laps on each of the two softest tyre compounds in Barcelona.
It is preferable to refer to the evidence of your own eyes rather than the lap times during testing, yet there are moments when even that can be deceiving. When the car was built as per the instructions the MP4-28 – a major departure from the highly competitive car of the previous season despite 2013 being the final year of the V8 regulations – never came close to hitting the same heights again.
