Some teams are not showing their true colours says Ferrari boss

The Ferrari team set the pace in the first pre-season testing at Valencia in Spain this week with both drivers posting the best times on all three days. The squad's team principal Stefano Domenicali has warned that their performance is no indication of their competitiveness against their rivals.

The Red Bull Racing team will only launch and debut its new car next Wednesday and many believe that the team could surprise its rivals. Teams will resume testing at Jerez on Wednesday.

Domenicali also feels that some teams and in particular Mercedes GP has not yet showed its true colours. "Maybe someone also wants to play hide and seek and some still have to present their cars," he said.

"There is still a lot of work to do to close the gap and there are still many problems we have to solve. And then we don't know the petrol loads the other cars had on board, so it's impossible to get a clear idea of the relative strengths on the track," he said.
