Report:

The track width in Bahrain proved very useful in the thrilling battles that were presented to us at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The 27th running of the Bahrain Grand Prix proved a thrilling race, where everything hinged on the slimmest of margins and minor decisions proved to have huge consequences, in short: a dream for every passionate fan of the sport.

Daniel Melrose scored consecutive poles and while he was not a factor when it came down to deciding the winner, he had a fun battle for third against Lando Norris, where he came up short, ending the race in fourth position. His fourth place and the ninth for Ármannsson made 2019’s trouble for now a distant memory for both teams.

The victory was decided, as it has been so often ever since 2018, between Caterham-Judd and Precision-Mercedes. This time around, the Düsseldorf-based team had the edge, as Bianchi always managed to keep the lead at around 2-3 seconds.

Behind them, a lot of overtaking was going on, the quick acceleration of the hydrogen fuel cells allowing for many beautiful slipstream moves. These helped Torrente and Cassidy, who both started way further back than they hoped, to slice through the competition to achieve some dazzling results and helping their championship rank.

Fastest Lap:

Sebastian Vettel – 1:34.641

Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:

Reject Of The Race:

Mike Rockenfeller – his race-ending mistake was that of a man half his age.
