Bahrain, the beginning of Oscar Piastri's reign?

Frédéric Vasseur's fears were confirmed with the Bahrain Grand Prix. At the end of the Japanese Grand Prix, the boss of the Team Ferrari feared that the F1 has become "a qualifying championship", in reaction to the 100% conversion rate of pole positions into victories since the beginning of the year. Last Sunday, the Frenchman watched helplessly as the mastery ofOscar piastri, who continued the series after dominating on Saturday. However, Frédéric Vasseur will undoubtedly be less fatalistic when analyzing a Bahrain Grand Prix that this time did not at all make you want to nod off or grab the remote control to zap. And this, even if there was never really any doubt about the identity of the winner, as Oscar Piastri recited a perfect score, worked, rehearsed and perfectly oiled to roll out in front of the front wing of his formidable MCL39 the red carpet that led him to his fourth victory in Formula 1, the second of the season.

After China, the Australian is the first in four races to double the lead after Lando Norr's successes

Norris shouldn't be buried too soon; he's led the championship for four races, which isn't something everyone can achieve. But his worst rival has the same car, making it a difficult situation for both of them. Much to our delight.

COOL gentlemen. 19 or 20 more races plus the sprints. You give a very close image of your magazine with such titles.
