TOPS

Romain Grosjean miraculous


It is inevitably the good news of the day.

After the frightful accident of the French driver in the first lap, it is necessary to underline and to salute the fact that Romain Grosjean was able to extract himself from his car, cut in two, himself.

Shocked, pilot Haas was taken to hospital.

We then speak of broken ribs and burns.

More fear than harm then, given the violence of the shock.

This is due to the enormous work carried out by the FIA ​​(International Automobile Federation) on the safety of drivers with in particular the introduction of the Halo, which protects the heads of drivers, since 2018 and avoids other disasters in this risky sport. .

Hamilton domineering


The weekends follow and are similar.

Crowned world champion for the seventh time in Turkey, Lewis Hamilton does not intend to stop there.

He is hungry for success and it showed in Sakhir.

Pole on Saturday and victory on Sunday is now a classic pattern for the modern F1 master who continues to crush this 2020 season.

McLaren's big shot


The English brand has something to celebrate this Sunday evening.

Lando Norris (4th) and Carlos Sainz (5th) had a superb race and brought home big points for McLaren, twenty-two to be exact.

This propels the English brand to third in the constructors' championship with two units ahead of Racing Point and 27 over Renault with two rounds to go to the end of the season.

On a personal level, we salute the formidable comeback of Carlos Sainz who started from the fifteenth row.

FLOPS

Ferrari, a Sunday to forget


Even if the abandonment of Sergio Perez in the final laps propels Charles Leclerc to tenth place, that does not save the furniture of the Scuderia for all that.

The Ferraris appeared lacking in rhythm after a dozen or so laps, causing a real way of the cross for its drivers.

The Monegasque collects one point but he will not be able to be satisfied with it.

Vettel, he finished far (13th) after having battled a good part of the race with… the Williams.

Bottas dropped


In distress in Turkey two weeks earlier, the Finn did not raise his head on Sunday in Bahrain.

Second on the grid, Valtteri Bottas first missed his start.

Quickly fifth, he suffered a slow puncture forcing him to return to the pits very early.

Without rhythm and stuck in the peloton, number 2 Mercedes had a grueling Grand Prix with four stops and an eighth place at the finish.

Renault loses big


Daniel Ricciardo seventh and Esteban Ocon ninth, the result is not catastrophic for the diamond brand.

But where the problem is that McLaren placed its two drivers in the top 5. This means that the English brand soars to third place in the constructors' championship.

Renault, fifth behind Racing Point, is now 27 units behind McLaren.
