Looking at the results of the Bahrain Grand Prix alone, it seems that the car with the problems is there Red Bull, who did not see the checkered flag either with Max Verstappen or with Sergio Perez, stopped by technical troubles not yet cleared up. Yet the RB18 has provided very interesting performances, which is why Milton Keynes does not tear their clothes: the car was born well, and once the reliability problems were understood, the hunt for Ferrari it should start again.
A hunt in which, according to team principal Chris Horner, will also participate in the Mercedes. Which, unlike the RB18, has problems considered more serious (because they are linked to the concept of the car) but in the meantime in Sakhir he won very heavy points, with the third and fourth place signed by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell: “Looking at it on the track, it is clear that the riders have difficulties. But we know their ability to bounce back and to react to difficulties. They’ve had problematic preseason tests a few more times too, and then they won the first race“, These are the statements reported by the F1 website. “I believe that before three or four races it is impossible to define a hierarchy, not to mention that there is a young regulation and developments will come quickly. It is only natural for a team as strong as Mercedes to recover very, very quickly“.
Horner, a fortiori, is also optimistic about the ‘rebirth’ of Red Bull: “The positive side for us is that we clearly have a competitive car. It’s true, we didn’t have the pace on Sunday compared to Ferrari, but there was a great fight between Verstappen and Leclerc, with several overtaking by one and the other driver. It’s a very long season, there are another 22 races to go, we need to overcome any problems we face and come back with even more strength next weekend, in Jeddah.“.
