The Red Sea in the embattled kingdom of Saudi Arabia was barely worth a trip for Alfa-Sauber even on the third attempt. In the end, only the great disappointment remains. Even if there was a 9th place finish for Antonio Giovinazzi at the GP premiere in Jeddah in 2021…
Yesterday the World Cup points were always out of reach. It doesn’t matter what tire strategy came from the command post this time. Hinwil’s cars were simply too slow. Without apologies.
Bottas with a spent evening
The Chinese Guanyu Zhou (24) was 13th and the Finn Valtteri Bottas (33) had to settle for 18th and last place. The only one with a lap behind. Two cars were retired – Stroll and Albon.
Shortly before the end, a strange radio message from Bottas flashed through the world: “Do you see the damage to the car?” Bottas himself explained it this way after the race: “I drove over a big piece of debris on the first lap, so maybe I had damage on the ground.”
It was not nice to see Hinwil’s team fade into oblivion after the successful four-point start in Bahrain. With the Mercedes customers McLaren and Williams.
Battle for points in midfield
Alpine gave a good sign of life for the first time – and Magnussen even got the first championship point for Haas-Ferrari.
The battle in midfield has thus begun. However, with a clear favourite: Alpine! Ocon and Gasly are currently too fast for the opponents behind. (rb)
