Championship leader Sebastian Vettel has tipped his old team Red Bull to return to the top in formula one. Currently, the 2017 title looks to be a fight between Ferrari - for whom former Red Bull driver Vettel now races - and Mercedes.
But after the opening four 'flyaway' races, rumours are swirling that a 'B' car in the works by Red Bull could be up to a full second per lap quicker for Barcelona.
"I think it (Spain) will be a very close race between Mercedes and us, and I also hope that Red Bull find some pace," said Vettel, who won all four of his titles for the energy drink owned team.
"There's a lot of rumours around," the German added. "They are a strong team, they know how to build a quick car so I expect it's a question of when rather than if." (GMM)

I doubt it. If Red Bull can take points from Mercedes, they are bound to grab points from Ferrari aswell, and thats not what Vettel want at the moment. And Red Bull is strong on the same tracks as Ferrari, so if they become a legit threat it could harm Ferrari more.

RB will make a bigger leap than other teams, but I can't imagine how they can close a gap of more then 1 second...
