Max Verstappen was in charge of the Bahrain Grand Prix from start to finish and won the season-opener of the 2023 F1 season. Sergio Perez made it a perfect race for Red Bull Racing while Fernando Alonso secured third place, benefiting from late race trouble for Ferrari.

There's a rumor that Stroll barely passed the FIA's egress test. Failed the first, and only passed when they allowed him to do it again.fritticaldi wrote: ↑04 Mar 2023, 06:43With respect to Stroll's injury that appears to be hampering him this situation reminds me of Greg Moore.

"We have a change in driving behaviour with Max that we can't explain. In the slow corners there is a problem with him, very different from the tests. We have to look at it, but we expect it to be done by the next session," explained Marko.
"During test drives, you don't know the amount of fuel and engine mappings. But Ferrari and we are probably in front, Alonso will annoy the Mercedes with the Aston Martin if they don't find something soon."
"If you compare the Aston Martin with our car, they are very similar. They have brought some employees from us and therefore a lot can probably be deduced."
