Why Red Bull was so dominant in the Bahrain GP | The Race F1 Podcast
1,977There was little doubt who was going to win the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix, but the reasons behind Max Verstappen and Red Bull’s domination of the Formula 1 season-opener provide plenty for The Race F1 Podcast to dig into.
Edd Straw, Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm explore why Red Bull was able to make it look so easy, and whether its opponents’ weaknesses will be just as pronounced elsewhere.
While there was misery for Ferrari and Mercedes, there was utter delight at Aston Martin. Our panel looks at whether it can maintain its superb Sakhir form through the season.
Every other sub-plot and great or terrible performance from the weekend is explored too, and we answer The Race Members’ Club’s big questions about the race.
