An absolutely nightmare start to World 2022 for the whole Red Bullwho finished the Bahrain GP at 0 points after the retirement of Max Verstappen and the spin to the last lap of Sergio Perez, just as the two pilots were respectively in 2nd and 3rd position. A race that, before the final double twist, had nevertheless seen the reigning Dutch champion author of an exciting challenge with Leclerc for the first position, which then vanished following a mechanical boredom that opened the doors of the Ferrari one-two.
In this regard, the team principal’s comment full of disappointment was not lacking Christian Hornerwho thus spoke to the microphones of Sky Sports after the podium ceremony: “It was a very frustrating evening – commented – I want to congratulate Ferrari on today’s victory, but for us it is a disappointment, given that we were still fighting with them. I think they were a bit faster, but two retirements is something terrible, especially since they happened in the last two laps. It appears to have been a similar problem for both cars, but until we take the cars apart it will be difficult to understand. We think it’s a problem in the fuel system, rather than the power unit. They are probably identical causes, perhaps connected to the collector ”
“About the race – he added – I think Charles gained 2-3 tenths of a second over us especially in the second sector, while we were very fast in the first. Although Max had a great race, a lot of fun to watch, we couldn’t pass them. However, we understand that with these machines you can follow faster. We also had brake problems which made life difficult for us during the race, with Max also having them on the steering. In any case, F1 must be like this: if everything goes fine for the whole season, as long as we manage to finish the races ”.
