There are also simple races in Formula 1. The 75th World Cup opener on the desert highway in Bahrain was one of them. After his 33rd pole position, three-time world champion Max Verstappen (26) celebrated his 55th GP victory.
His eighth success in a row was never in danger. At the start, the Dutchman in the Red Bull Honda shook Leclerc (Ferrari) away like an annoying fly. The rest was just control.
Super-Max: “It was easier than expected. And because the pit stops also worked very well, I saw no problems and even allowed myself to smile in the cockpit.”
At the finish he was 22.4 seconds ahead of his teammate Pérez, who had no chance and – again – has announced revenge on Jeddah in a week’s time: “Then the gap will certainly be smaller.” Wasn’t the Mexican mistaken?
Horner’s wife arrived
High-pressure team boss Christian Horner (50) celebrated the Bulls’ 29th double victory with a pit kiss to his wife, ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell (51), who had traveled there.
Not much went together for the secret favorite Ferrari. Leclerc (4th) initially fought with his red toy on and off the track. Sainz stole the show on the podium and saw Leclerc chatting with Hamilton for a long time before the race.
The Spaniard has to leave at the end of the season because Sir Lewis is on his way. The Brit was next to the rubber shoes with the Mercedes for all 57 laps. His best radio message: “Why is everyone so fast?”
The two Mercedes customer teams of McLaren and Aston Martin also failed to get up to speed, but did score all the championship points. Zhou fell 10.8 seconds short on the final point in the kick clean.
Hulkenberg’s mistake
Qualifying sensation Hülkenberg (fifth row in the Haas-Ferrari) probably missed a great race due to a quick mistake when he reversed Stroll in front of him. And had to bury all hopes with an immediate pit stop.
This incident was the first accident in 2024. Even on the three test days, the entire Formula 1 field drove well.
