Ferrari-Red Bull-Ferrari-Red Bull. Ten years after the famous 2012 season, the last in which the Maranello and Milton Keynes teams competed directly, point by point, for the world title, the reds and the bulls have returned to monopolize the first four positions of the departure. Charles Leclerc mocked Max Verstappen in the fight for pole position, with the Dutchman who saved the front row by just six thousandths, managing to fend off the attack of a very tough Carlos Sainz, who in turn was able to recover almost all of the detachment that he had highlighted yesterday towards the top duo.
The reigning world champion’s garage mate will take off alongside the Madrid-born, Sergio Perez. The Mexican had appeared far away yesterday, but already this morning in PL3 he had made his appearance in the top positions. At the end of Q3, however, Checo missed the right flash to enter the top three again. A regret for the winner of the 2020 Sakhir GP, who has always achieved good career results on the Bahraini track. “It would have been ideal to be third. Today it was possible”Perez admitted to the microphones of Sky Sports F1.
“I took the last corner badly and my tires were overheating towards the end of the lap. I tried to get too far ahead of the corner and this surprised me. But overall it’s a good result – added the color bearer of Red Bull, who aims high for tomorrow’s race – we can’t wait to have a good fight tomorrow. We want to at least try to get on the podium and we hope to get a brace for the team“. Between saying and doing, however, the two reds risk getting in the way, who in any case appeared competitive on the race pace on Friday, even if less than Verstappen’s RB18.
