Really hope that they make some giant leaps during the season.
The addition of a third DRS zone at the Bahrain International Circuit should have helped significantly reduce lap times around the track this year.In 2018 drivers qualified on the super-soft tyre. 0:31. And although there was rain predicted for Saturday â which sadly or not, depending on your standpoint, never turned up â the race is set to be dry.Beating Schumacherâs podium record âfar beyond what I dreamedâ says Hamilton'I should have taken more risks' says Norris after P10 finish in SpainWATCH: Say What? Vettel went into a spin on corner exit, saying he got surprised and lost the rear of the car. I expected them to start the season at the bottom of the midfield, and be only quicker than the Williams initially. Obviously in the last race I was not very happy with my qualifying. By lap 37, with both drivers having completed their second planned stops, Vettel and Hamilton were circulating nose-to-tail. The majority of the race saw the Monegasque comfortably clear at the head of the field, leading like an F1 veteran rather than someone driving in his second race for Ferrari, the 21-year-old seemingly set for his first-ever victory before a reported MGU-H issue on his SF90 on lap 46 of 57 saw him fall back into the clutches of the chasing Mercedes pair behind him.Leclercâs Sunday drive was all the more sensational given that it hadnât got off to a great start, with team mate Sebastian Vettel pipping the pole man off the line to lead on the first lap, Leclerc dropping down to third as Bottas squeezed through too, with Hamilton slotting into fourth. As if that wasnât bad enough for Vettel, as he rejoined the track, the front wing of his car then spectacularly detached itself down Bahrainâs back straight in a heart-stopping moment, forcing the German to pit once more for a new nose, while he also bolted on a set of soft tyres.Leclerc was having no such problems at the head of the field, however â that was, until he came on the radio on lap 46. âThereâs something strange with the engine,â he reported in agitatedly.
They’ve definitely shown that they have some pace in that car, and can be battling at the top of the midfield. Norris had to jump on his brakes to avoid what could have been an almighty shunt with the Haas, with Grosjean duly called to the stewards after qualifying. Gasly reveals his home was ârobbed and trashedâ while he was away racingWATCH: Say What? Valtteri Bottas: 'Annoying when it's that close' after going P2 by fraction of second . RACE HIGHLIGHTS: 2019 Bahrain Grand Prix It seems that we did quite a good job, front-row lock-out and yeah, extremely happy.âItâs obviously extremely hard [going up against my team mate] because Seb is an amazing driver and Iâve learned a lot from him and I will probably learn all year long with him, but today Iâm very happy to be in front of him.

Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying: Stroll orders ice cream in pit lane. There was no hope to hold off the advancing Hamilton, who waved apologetically as he sailed by on lap 48.Leclerc was falling, falling down the order, and after losing second place to Valtteri Bottas â whoâd been a full 27 seconds behind the Ferrari when Hamilton had gone past â he looked set to also be swallowed up by the Red Bull of Max Verstappen when the Safety Car emerged following a bizarre double retirement for Renault, the two yellow cars coasting into the run-off at Turn 1 seconds apart, both having seemingly lost power. This time, Hamilton got the move done around Turn 4, while Vettel appeared to jump too hard onto the power to get back on terms with the Mercedes. There were shades of Vettelâs error-strewn 2018 as he lost the back end of his SF90, rotating into the run-off as Hamilton accelerated on into a clear second place. The whole midfield is very close and the whole midfield is much closer to the top.“That’s interesting and hopefully over the rest of the season we can keep it up and catch up. Behind him, though, Leclerc was lapping even faster on his second run â and as Vettel popped himself into P2 and ahead of Hamilton, Leclerc improved his time to establish a new track record and claim his first-ever pole position in just his second race for Ferrari.The two Mercedes of Hamilton and Bottas were third and fourth, but would have been pleased to close down the gap to Ferrari to within four-tenths of a second â especially given their apparent advantage on long-run pace.Haas, meanwhile, witnessed Kevin Magnussen get to within 0.005s of Max Verstappenâs time for Red Bull, the Dane leading the midfield by around half a tenth from the McLaren of Carlos Sainz, ahead of Grosjean, Kimi Raikkonen in the Alfa Romeo, with the second McLaren of Norris rounding out the top 10.âExtremely happy.
