Red Bull are bracing themselves for a fierce battle for supremacy with Lotus and Ferrari in Bahrain after the three leading teams of 2013 dominated Friday Practice.
"Saturdays are perhaps becoming less important overall than they used to be, but they're still important in terms of traffic. You don't want to be in too much traffic on Sunday, as the tyres don't like being disturbed and wear more which will shorten your first stint - so you still need to be in a good position. "We still have areas to improve on the car. Lotus and Ferrari look strong and Mercedes is there too."
