The big question ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, Round 2 of the Formula 1 world championship, is is Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari can seriously challenge Mercedes who are on an eight race winning streak.
Mark Webber, who was Vettel's teammate at Red Bull for a number of years, was asked if the German believes he can beat the Silver Arrows, "He does, he can and he will but whether it's as often as he likes is the big question on everyone's lips."
"He is relaxed, in a good frame of mind and realistic to know the challenge ahead of him. When he gets the chance to ruffle [Mercedes] up he'll be in there."
Looking back at the season opening weekend in Melbourne the straight talking Aussie pointed out, "It was Lewis's race to lose, and he did."
"I think Nico arrived with confidence, with testing having gone really well for him," explained Webber. "But we saw three mistakes from him up until the race so he had a rather scruffy build up to the race."
"Nico is generally strong in Bahrain. He could do the job there but he knows the win in Australia wasn't on his own terms and he's professional enough and honest enough to know he can do a better weekend," added Webber.
