Berlin:&nbsp;Four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel predicts a debacle for Red Bull unless they improve their car before the season opens at the Australian Grand Prix in two weeks.
&ldquo;First of all, just getting to the finish would be a success,&rdquo; the German told broadcaster Servus TV.

&ldquo;If half the drivers fail to finish, then maybe we could take a few points.&rdquo;
The 26-year-old is bidding for a fifth consecutive world title when the season kicks off in Melbourne on March 16, but endured a frustrating four-days of testing the new Red Bull car in Bahrain, which concluded on Sunday.
His mentor and Red Bull&rsquo;s advisor Helmut Marko echoed Vettel&rsquo;s concerns. &ldquo;We are not where we want to be,&rdquo; said the Austrian after the second testing session of the winter.
&ldquo;The start of the season has come at least two months too early for us. It will be difficult to catch up, we don&rsquo;t know when or if that is possible.&rdquo;
Vettel failed to complete a single lap in testing on Saturday due to electrical issues and problems with the car&rsquo;s Renault engine.

Williams&rsquo; Felipe Massa posted the fastest time in Bahrain, clocking 1min 33.258secs, closely followed by Mercedes&rsquo; Lewis Hamilton, who was just 0.06 seconds, while Vettel came in 18th fastest overall with teammate Daniel Ricciardo tenth.
Vettel finished Sunday&rsquo;s final testing ninth fastest, 4.190 secs slower than Hamilton&rsquo;s best, after suffering a spin after a brakes failure, but still managed to completed 77 laps, his highest mileage of the winter on a single day.
