Boots the GP Bahrain F1 2018, with an interesting race with several battles already from the start. Good overtaking and little to do with the GP of Australia, where the advancements were void. The highlight of this race may be the loss of one of the mechanics of Ferrari, which has been hit by Kimi at the exit of your stop, although the pilot has not had the fault. However, good performance from both red cars, with Vettel leading and KImi had to stop before the accident by not have finished adjusting the wheel and, therefore, ending his career there.
Disastrous weekend for Red Bull. If Australia was a hell for Haas, this time it has gone to Red Bull, with Ricciardo parándo the car by technical problems that seemed electric. As for Max Verstappen, has been shown to be very aggressive to go up by the mess of yesterday. In a battle against Hamilton where he has thrown literally into English of the track by not leaving space, the front wing of Lewis has touched on the wheel of Max, and clicked. Therefore, without rear tire, the race also ended for the other Red Bull. Both cars of the team of the energy drinks out of the race and no points in a weekend that has not been good for them…
In terms of the area more delayed, we have seen many bastallas as I have said. Espeically, we have focused on the Fernando Alonso came out 13th by the bad qualifying of yesterday, where the MCL33 not found performance over a lap. In the race the performance is better, and have been able to finish both in the points. ALonso has been ranked in the Top10 almost right after the start, and has slowly been climbing taking advantage of cars that have had problems and are also attached to the overtaking that has made him. In the last laps has been comiendole tenths of seconds per lap to Hülkenber that it was the pilot that was right in front in the 6th position, but finally has not been able to pass and had to settle with the 7th, which is next to the 5th place of the previous career, are good points for him and the moral for the team. AND CONGRATULATIONS TO MARCUS ERICSSON! With a strategy flawless for the team, the swede has been 9, the best performance of Sauber in a long time.
Congratulations also to Toro Rosso and Gasly, that has cherished today the podium and has confirmed the step forward that has been given here to the computer. Well that good feeling for a Honda that has been reliable and has gotten very competitive. Awesome, the best position of the Honda engine all these years. I hope that McLaren is not arrepienda having lost to Honda… I repeat, awesome work of Toro Rosso and Honda, which have held almost like a real victory. They deserve it after so much sacrifice and so many problems. I think that is the only thing that Red Bull can feel proud today.

*Alonso has had to loosen on the last lap considerably when I was glued to shot of DRS with Nico, probably due to lack of fuel. And has been bent by the three in the front,…
Next appointment with the GP of China (just next week, from 13 to 15 April), we’ll be there to see if the spaniards get good positions and to see all the news and updates. I hope that it is as divertia as this race, because really I have enjoyed it. The F1 has returned to have something of the emotion, and that has not changed anything. The reason is the stability of the regulation and that all teams are somewhat evenly-matched, with tenths that can make the difference between being 5th and 15th.
