Double world champion Max Verstappen says that the new Red Bull car is better than last year's in every area
Formula One champion Red Bull could be racing against themselves in Bahrain this weekend judging by pre-season testing, according to Mercedes' rival George Russell.
Red Bull's double world champion Max Verstappen and Mexican teammate Sergio Perez have been sounding confident after their new car was quickest at the Sakhir circuit last week.
Some commentators have suggested the pair could potentially be at least half a second a lap faster than their closest rivals, with Verstappen saying the car was better than last year's in every area.

"I think it's definitely fair to say Red Bull are in a bit of a league of their own this weekend here in Bahrain," Russell told reporters.
"But I think it would probably be a nice fight for second place, probably between Ferrari and Aston Martin," added the Briton.
Aston Martin were seventh overall last season but their new Mercedes-powered car has looked quick and reliable, putting in impressive long runs in testing with double world champion Fernando Alonso at the wheel.
