Rivals believe Red Bull still beatable

Red Bull Racing's rivals still believe they are in the hunt to topple Australian Grand Prix pole position man Sebastian Vettel in the first race of the season - despite admitting surprise at the speed the German showed as he grabbed pole position. Vettel has been in scintillating form throughout the Melbourne weekend, and edged the rest of the field by eight tenths of a second in qualifying - despite not using his KERS during the battle for grid positions. But even though that kind of advantage makes Vettel the clear favourite for victory, main opposition McLaren and Ferrari both think that the race itself may well prove to be a different story
