Grand Prix of Bahrain 2022. The Ferrari scores one-two with Charles Leclerc 1° and Carlos Sainz 2°. Max Verstappeninstead, yes withdraw due to a problem on his Red Bull. We know how the season went. Dutch has routed the competition, winning 15 out of 22 races. Conversely, the Prancing Horse has wrong almost everything that could be wrong, having to settle for playing the role of sparring partner.
Grand Prix of Bahrain 2023. The Red Bull scores double con Max Verstappen 1° and Sergio Perez 2°. Charles Leclercinstead, yes withdraw due to a problem with his Ferrari. We can’t know how the season will go yet, but the Red fans must hope that the parties stay for a long time reversed than twelve months ago. We are only in mid-March and already the supporters of the Scuderia di Maranello are forced to live on hopes? What happened in Sakhir, in fact, represented the proverbial hit on the teeth for the Fans.
In the inaugural act we saw the Drink Team enjoy one superiority quite marked compared to the opponents. If the situation were to repeat itself this weekend in Saudi Arabia, then there would be little to be happy about. Why would you deduce how well you would be few chances to snatch the world titles a Super Max and you have bibitari fastest in the world. All right, there are still 623 points to award and we know last year’s script. Nonetheless, the prodromes are gloomy if seen from a Ferrari point of view and, in general, from the point of view of entertainment.
Ferrari, you only have the name left. Between false illusions and smoke sellers
Jeddah is synonymous with battaglia. Both in 2021 and 2022, the GP on the Red Sea has always given birth to rustic duels for success. Will the dynamic recur in the next few days? It would be good for all of F1, as the prospect of a monotonous season in the sign of “Orange King” Verstappen, worthy successor to the “Black King” Lewis Hamilton, is anything but palatable. However, if the opponents are missing, what is the fault of the Dutch and the Austro-British team?
We’ll see how the Saudi weekend develops. Currently the vintage is still young and, therefore, full of questions. There Ferrari really helpless against Red Bull? Aston Martin can actually represent the surprise of 2023, allowing Fernando Alonso to dream? There Mercedes it is incredibly sunk into the same ditch twelve months ago, finding herself mired in even deeper quicksand? Alpine e McLarenin spite of great ambitions, will continue to vegetate in no man’s land? These are the issues to which we will be able to begin to have more precise answers on Sunday evening after the preliminary ones in Bahrain.
