Formula 1 starts in the Sakhir desert on Sunday evening with the red bulls on the front row Verstappen and Pérez in the dark. Behind the two disappointed Ferrari. And then the reborn superstar Fernando Alonso (41) in the green Aston Martin monster.
The Spaniard deserves this 5th place on the grid after three strong training performances with two best times. Behind Alonso, the beaten Mercedes works cars of Russell and Hamilton.
For two-time world champion Max Verstappen (25) it was only the 21st pole position for the 164th World Cup appearance (35 wins to date). Max laughed: “I think I have to give this pole position to my father Jos. He was 54 years old. Hopefully he will watch in the Netherlands…”
The 57-lap battle on the desert highway thus features old and new favorites – but fans can look forward to the 357th appearance from a man who took a break from Formula 1 in 2019 and 2020 because he was bored. “The boring races just weren’t fun anymore!” And of course the grueling four years at McLaren (three with Honda power, one with the Renault engine). The Japanese blacklisted him for insulting them: “It’s just a Formula 2 engine!”
Now the Fernando Express is rolling again after two start-up seasons at Alpine with Aston Martin: “We have to stay grounded, but second places are not enough!”
The 2005 and 2006 world champion with Renault last won in Barcelona in 2013 with Ferrari. Before that, the superfighter, often labeled as a stink boot, had been next to the world title three times with a total of eight World Cup points (!): 2007, 2010 and 2012. Couldn’t be more bad luck.
Alonso: «I wanted a new contract with Alpine until the end of 2024. But that was too risky for them. Well, if you don’t trust me, I’ll ignore you!” And signed to Aston Martin for several years.
“I want to celebrate my 400th Grand Prix there and soon my 33rd victory!” He has today scheduled the 99th stage appearance of his career in Bahrain…
Why did Alonso come back anyway? “Because deep down I love this sport – and because I don’t know what else to do. So I have to drive!”
The question: Can Alonso become world champion again? A crazy statistic says yes. Since 2017, the driver who led the first race of the season during second Friday practice has always won the world championship – this time Alonso.
The surprise was provided by Alonso partner Lance Stroll, who injured his hands and feet. The Canadian took advantage of the new wonder car and will start next to Hamilton from row 4.
Bottas (12th) and Zhou (13th) in the Alfa-Sauber didn’t really get going. Fans can’t expect miracles like 2022 on Sunday, when the duo started here with nine World Cup points as both Red Bulls retired in the last few laps!
