2010 F1 SEASON BUILDUP Formula 1 teams finished their pre-season testing on Sunday and are now packing their cars away to send them to Bahrain for the first race of the season in less than two weeks' time. After four days pounding around the Circuit de Catalunya, a picture has emerged about the relative competitiveness of the cars. Leaving Barcelona, the top four teams look closely matched, although Red Bull and Ferrari are probably slightly ahead of Mercedes and McLaren. Either way, F1 looks poised for an intensely competitive season. For analysis of the teams in pit-lane order visit the BBC website. - - -
