The game of return instructions to Ferrari at the start of the Bahrain GP?

In delicacy during the opening of the 2019 season of Formula 1 in Australia, Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) made up for it this Saturday March 30 in Bahrain. The German will start from second place alongside his teammate Charles Leclerc Sunday at around 17 p.m. French time. 

This result was gleaned with a straight line, the quadruple world champion having only had one attempt in Q3. Indeed, bad weather at the start of Q2 forced him to spend more tires at that time, which forced him to have more reserves later.

“I was hampered by some latecomers as I was about to start my flying lap. So, it put me in a bad position, but you can't really control these situations. Then I did another lap with the tires that were reserved for Q3. It was far from ideal, He explains.

It was crucial to succeed in the only test of Q3. I wanted more than second place, but I'm relatively satisfied. » With a 100% red front row, questions about possible team instructions like in Australia have resurfaced. 

“It’s a very complicated race that awaits us tomorrow, continues Sebastian Vettel. We have to work together as a team and try to ensure that we stay first and second. »

Certainly, but in what order? " We will see. I think it's obvious. Charles will start up front. He has the advantage of pole position. » The Monegasque remains cautious but does not forget his personal interests.

“I will do absolutely everything possible to keep first place, but we are a team and we must work together. To be completely honest, we haven't had the pre-GP meeting yet, so for now I don't know (if there will be instructions)."

So all of this still remains unclear. The best answer will be on the circuit.
