1 F2019 World Championship - Bahrain Grand Prix Report Cards
Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
Charles Leclerc moral conqueror Bahrain Grand Prix: a memorable race spoiled by a problem onERS, safety car took to the track in the finals after the defeat Renault allowed him to keep the third place, was accompanied by a bonus point for quick ride.
Monaco driver is the youngest outfield player in history Ferrari and the second-youngest driver to take pole position (record still held by Vettel: Monza 2008) - he started poorly, but soon recovered after overtaking Bottas and then Vettel on six laps. Only bad luck prevented him from holding the well-deserved first place.
Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
Lewis Hamilton he knew how to take advantage of Ferrari's problems and immediately thanked Leclerc for showing Sakhir.
For the reigning world champion, this is the third success of the last four controversial Grand Prix: this victory, in our opinion, will greatly affect F1 world 2019.
Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari)
Un Grand Prix del Bahrain forget for Sebastian Vettel: In qualifying, he was ridiculed by his teammate Leclerc, and in the race he managed to overtake him (but he was only six laps ahead of him).
Among the (few) positives is overtaking against Hamilton, among the negatives is overtaking, which Hamilton always endured on lap 38. He didn't break the front wing, but the spin was his fault.
Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes)
Valtteri Bottas still leads F1 world 2019 thanks to the second place in Bahrain Grand Prix and at a bonus point in Melbourne.
The Finnish driver started the season well, although he did not deserve a podium today.
Ferrari
Friday and Saturday from 10, Sunday from 2: la Ferrari he had a gun in his pocket and he finished Bahrain Grand Prix with third and fifth place.
Lack of reliability: problems onERS Di Leclerc prevented the young Monaco from gaining a landslide victory.
