THE FIRST RACE OF THE SEASON HAD ALL THE EXCITEMENT WHICH ONE WOULD EXPECT, WITH DRIVERS IN TIP-TOP PHYSICAL CONDITION, (BUT SADLY A FEW TEETHING PROBLEMS WITH THE CARS…!) IT IS SO HOT IN BAHRAIN THAT THE TRACK IS SPECIFICALLY MADE OF GRAYWACKE AGGREGATE (SMALL STONES) WHICH IS LAUDED BY THE DRIVERS FOR ADDING MORE GRIP, BUT WHICH ALSO TAKES IT’S TOLL ON THE TYRES, SO THERE WERE PIT-STOPS ‘A PLENTY’, AND DRAMA GALORE, WITH FERNANDO ALONSO EVEN MANAGING TO OVERTAKE LEWIS HAMILTON ON THE INSIDE..! AND THAT’S NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE EVERY DAY! SO, WE HAVE PLEASURE IN PRESENTING THE HIGHLIGHTS ONCE AGAIN, WITH ALL THE PADDOCK GOSSIP…
MAX VERSTAPPEN WON IN 1:33.56.736, SERGIO PEREZ WAS SECOND +11.987, AND FERNANDO ALONSO THIRD, +38.637 (BELOW ON THE PODIUM)
