I think RB will be a dark horse until the first race. I think it's mostly mind games with testing to not show their true pace (I could well be wrong).

We are mostly basing the performance of all cars on how they did in testing, but until the first race is over (barring any silly accidents / retirements) we will have a more truer understanding.

Topping one day of testing does not make a title winning car.

Nobody's a flop until the season has started.
Right now, everyone's still working out the bugs and other issues - we all know practice times aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

That said, I doubt Red Bull will have a great season. Just a gut feeling but i think they're still in the development stage and their drivers aren't ones who can get the best out of a car.

Finished, surely? If the car is crap for the first few races, but some miracle happens and it somehow goes on to win races/championships, or at least gets a good haul of points scores/podiums, it would hardly be a flop! However, if it spent most of the season at the back of the grid, with a very few half decent finishes, it would be a Super Aguri.... lol
