F1 teams beset by problems in early stages of testing as Red Bull and Mercedes unveil their 2014 car
Championship favourites Red Bull and Mercedes pulled the covers off their new cars as F1 took its first stuttering steps into the new era, writes Byron Young in Jerez .
In the first hour Lewis Hamilton was the only drive to manage an entire lap.
After that the Spanish track was plunged back into total silence as a packed pit lane wrestled with the mating of the hybrid and turbo technologies.
The 2008 champion failed in his bid to make a second tour and Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari did not make it round an entire lap before his car broke down.

All the teams had been out long before dawn preparing their cars but the problems were easy to predict.
