2021 Bahrain Grand Prix - Sakhir, March 26 - 28

And only a blind fan will see it that way. when you look at what really happened, Perez was 3 tenths off Max with same tyres. Max was 7th, Perez 11th. The team will know this. RedBull took the gamble with both on mediums, and they missed out by a tiny amount. Perez didn't do so bad as he was pretty much as close to Max as Albon/Gasly were at their best. Perez will only get stronger.

Strange they didnt split strategy between the 2 big risk to take

Perhaps a little bit of hubris creeping in. Maybe they thought they ought to be able to get both cars through no matter what and just lost out because they didn't react correctly.

Drama has started for them now

Mazepin.....

Max reporting gearbox issue?

[nevill3]

Max reporting a problem

[Dazed1]

Mazepin.....

Mikita Hazespin.

[El Scorchio]

Absolutely. I think we will see a lot more of this from a young man who has been promoted to F1 too soon....

[nzjrs]

Is anyone missing the audio from the PLC?

[Artur Craft]

Mazepin needs to calm down. He was not bad on GP3, GP2. He is not super quick but he's not this bad either

Meanwhile, Perez already is playing a different strategy, that might be interesting

[Spacepace]

Oh boy...we might have a safety car to lead after every 2nd lap this year...

[El Scorchio]

This driver pairing is working out great for Haas

[Artur Craft]

MSC just did a Mazepin

[El Scorchio]

If Verstappen has an issue I would hate to see the car at full health! That first lap was like the Vettel RBR days. Pulled out over a second.

[dfegan358]

Think max changed the mapping. Don’t think it’s a big issue

[Restomaniac]

Verstappen playing the same mind games Hamilton plays.

[matt_b]

The issue is blown out of proportion, its fine Max is just being nervous and overdramatic just get on with it
