Last year Max was stuck behind Fernando in that dog of Mclaren he couldn't do anything with that Renault engine.The Honda power is really all they need is for redbull to improve in low speed corners
Last year the Mclaren ran the Renault Engine too...... cant blame PU if Max couldn't pass Mclaren last year!

Yeah I was wondering, but I just added Max and Fernando were using the same PU regardless of the track.

Toto says, Red Bull is a threat in championship and Honda power was enormous. I am worried, seriously.

Link -> Wolff backs Red Bull to be in championship battle after Honda gains
“They were very strong,” said Wolff. “You saw how they have eaten up Sebastian into Turn 3, the power was enormous.

“The combination with Red Bull will become a threat. Based on the level of performance, you must certainly have them in the calculation for the championship.”
Red Bull is going to dominate Bahrain GP and I trust Toto.
Toto: "Ferrari are very fast, they are a serious challenger for the title this year."

Melbourne happens.

Toto: "..."

I wonder how my dear friend Phil feels about all this unnecessary Toto bashing..
"Sebastian there's very, you're a member of a very select few.. Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Fangio.. VETTEL!"

And if folks who're bashing Toto what would THEY have said if they were in his shoes? We are the best and grandest and fastest? I don't get this irrational dislike for Toto. He seems pretty down to earth given the mighty organization he is representing. Still though after the Netflix documentary I see Gunther Steiner in a new light lol!

Well, after such a surprising first race its difficult to know what will happen. Ferrari were nowhere in Australia, being slow in every single part of the trackk, so no signs of the mighty PU or the excellent downforce they had last season.

If this trend continues in Bahrain, they are in a serious trouble.

So, I hope this tough I am very doubtful:

1. Vettel
2. Leclerc
3. Hamilton
4. Verstappen
5. Bottas
6. Raikkonen

Hoping that Ferrari can restore from that awful opening weekend.

But, thinking Merc and Red-bull going for the top spots at Bahrain...

QF standings:

Merc
Ferrari
RB
Alfa / Haas
Torro Rosso
RP
Renault / Mclaren
Williams
Everybody is a Ferrari fan.

Bahrain Being a kinda night race there are couple of awesome advantages.
The Temps are going to be low...
The speeds are gonna be at the peak...
The DRS power is gonna be hugeeeee.....
cars are gonna look fly under lights...
Lots and Lots of Overtakes..

Also the drivers are going to be wearing clear visors.. which makes the onboard driver face viewing camera even more exciting to see drivers the way they see and drive the circuit..

And don't forget the sparks... remember last year the triple overtake made by Hamilton. Four cars making huge sparks.
