Rosberg's fastest lap Friday at Bahrain was an impressive: 1:33.283
His 2013 Bahrain pole: 1:32.330
Vettel's fastest lap of the 2013 race: 1:36.961
So...a new formula with new power and less downforce and at the second practice we're seeing competitive times to the old formula.
It would appear 2014's shaping up to be just fine.
