Paint of bad for Alonso in Bahrain; Sainz, good start and piastri speed

The beginning of the period of Aston Martin This is a drama. Number Great Honor, Fernando Alonso He announced the many weaknesses of his vehicle. It is slow in the slow curve. In Japan, he said he was the slowest on the line. And in addition, it was a “more fragile” car before the wind gusts and it was very difficult to lead to the limit. While the rest have steel swords, the span. His hands could make the thing on the concrete tracks, as it happened in Japan, with the 11th that the Ovetense itself said he was “a little miracle” because his car “wasn’t even for the top-18”. But in Bahrain, it seems impossible. Without any new piece, with that car, Asturian began to suffer a lot and away from 10 best to enter points.

In all of this, we should add a surreal, anecdotal situation, but perfectly displays the green car situation. Fernando Alonso, who lost free 1 by giving his seat to tester Felipe Dugovich, came out in Free 2 with the aim of reviewing his car performance and taking advantage of the most representative session to collect valuable data and find adequate adjustment of his car to achieve maximum and approach to all possible in top-10. But from the good times, he saw how much of his session was lost for an atypical problem.

“I have a problem with the steering wheel. It will kill”, He said by radio. And slow, still conductedWhen he turned around he saw his steering wheel he released and stayed with him in his hands. Incredible. Surreal. He managed to bring it back, once out of track, and returned the car to the boxes. A problem in the direction was detected. He will resolve his mechanics and Alonso can return to the pavement, but with more than half an hour gone, and only 29 minutes preceded To complete the work at the most important weekend session. A catastrophe

But the thing is worse after a few minutesWhen Fernando Alonso made his first attempt back on the soft tire. It can only 15 to 1 “320 from the best timeby Oscar Piastri, two tenth of the 10th best Chrono, marked by Carlos Sainz with his Williams.

Alonso has already mentioned in Japan that, at least, the central zone is tight and Aston Martin is near. That he needed news in his car to give him two tenths to fight with better weapons to score. But the pieces have not yet reached. He had to row everyone against Bahrein waiting for his rivals’ mistakes and find something to maximize car classification. But it’s very difficult.

Sainz, 10th

Carlos Sainz, in full adaptation to his new Williamshe will be competitive again, beginning this weekend with the 10th best Chrono, to be exceeding his partner Alex at 23 thousand Alebonand just a tenth of a Lewis Hamilton who is still not comfortable with a Ferrari that brought the first great evolutionary package.

Carlos made it clear in the last careers that he still had to adapt his pilot to the car and learned to do different things than he did to him Ferrari To pilot perfectly comfortable with your Williams. Will continue to study that BahrainEspecially, with the aim of moving forward from classification from Saturday to the same track where Carlos Very fast with preseason.

That fight for Q3 is tight. At the moment, Hadjar’s RB follows another level in a central zone that And this is a stable candidate among the 10 best After becoming 6 in FP2, at 0 “7 of the best and leading to Max Verstappen (th -7) despite the taking of Red Bull’s ‘B’ car.

McLaren, favorite

However, the verstappen should not be removed from the equation. Even more when he complains brake problems that the team should be resolved. From Friday to Saturday, as it happened in Japan, in Red Bull they always managed the car so Max had the opportunity to put in. However, it seems that in Bahrain McLaren’s greater efficiency is more than other paths. And at the moment, this Friday.

Oscar Piastri, who wants to give another blow to his partner Norris to approach the World Cup leadershipIt is the fastest with 0 “154 Margin in Lando. And behind them, they are all far away. Russell He is third in half a second, along with Leclerc pulling Ferrari Again a few 13 thousand of George, in the 4th place to 0 “540. And AntonelliAlong with other Mercedes, completed Top-5 to 0 “733, two tenth from Russell, lead Isack Hadjar And his very fast Rb In one turn. Th -7 ay Verstappenwith a lot to improve. And 8 -8 is a Hamilton that remains far from Charles in its adaptation to a Ferrari who is not up to McLaren, less.
