Lights Out | Bahrain Recap

On The Gravel

It's Sunday, the first race of the season at Bahrain has concluded with a commanding victory for Max Verstappen, but the Dutch National Anthem will not be stealing our show this week. On The Gravel this episode, the Christian Horner drama has come to a clean end, the lights have gone out and we’ve finally gone racing. Alpine’s disastrous car has proved itself on track throughout the weekend, a messy start for Hulkenberg set up a wonderful recovery drive for Stroll, and multiple teams faced some major engine cooling issues throughout our 57 laps at Bahrain. Sergeant suffered a steering and brake bias issue to ruin his outing, along with Leclerc having a brake issue that starts the Ferrari pain off strong. Along with talk over the F2 running as well as the 6hrs of Qatar in WEC, there's plenty to pick through this week in F1 and the greater racing world as we gear up for the Saudi Arabian GP this Saturday!
