2006 was the last time Ferrari had a front row lock out @ Bahrain with Schumie and Massa.

True !

It was very good, closest quali i can remember lol, i think 0.3 between 5 cars

[mwk360]

If ferrari is planning two stops i hope we have new softs or 2 new softs lol

[barzini77]

we'll see how the season will evolve mate

We are not mates, but whatever.

A fantastic car great design and engineering the new front end kimi loves it merc lost for words we have a red arrow the car can go even faster and with its design be set up as track specific now for a 1/2 finish nice and clean no argy bargy between our drivers team work not egos.

It's still early in the season, but looks to me like the advantages between Ferrari and Merc have changed

Merc was very strong at Melbourne which I expected Ferrari to be stronger, and it wasn't a track that reward engine power.
Now, Ferrari is ahead of Merc at a track where engine power is more advantageous

I hope this is a sign that perhaps Ferrari engine is on par, if not better than Merc, this year

[abbottcostello]

Max is sooo overrated, he is a bit llike maldonado butt without the funny craziness, RB say they are faster in every corner than ferrari but they lose inbetween

He's had some crazy saves in the past, looks a bit like his luck may have gone somewhat sour lately. Or the reflexes aren't as sharp as the were. Wouldn't bother me a bit if the trend continues!

[icedeepan]

Max Verstappen says a 150hp surge from his Renault engine caused his crash in #BahrainGP qualifying per Autosport.

[Ferrarichamp]

yup i have 2 agree....maybe this new car is much more to his liking...it's nice to see both our boys up there and also Kimi pushing seb that much more this year then in previous years

Forza Seb and Kimi

[racingbradley]

Great day at the office for both our drivers.
To-morrow is the day that counts fingers crossed.

Yeah the surge he caused when he depressed the gas pedal too much...

[Ferrarichamp]

Kimi wants to get to the top spot of the podium again before he retires.

[jgonzalesm6]

BahrainGP Qualifying Best sectors - Vettel fastest in S1, Raikkonen in S2, Hamilton in S3 but Bottas was still faster than him.

Kimi told to Finnish TV:

"There were lots to improve, on the second run I had to let cars pass who were on fast lap and then I had to pass them again during my lap"

[mwk360]

Hoping we have heatwaves on all tracks , we might be kinder on tyres than mercs

[nani_s23]

RB are faster in S2. Ferrari are mighty in S1 & S2. n mercs in S3.

[mwk360]

Kimi sounded really annoyed on the team radio, hopefully they calm him down and he doesn't do anything foolish to seb, long race, they need to keep it clean

That thought gives me a nice feeling!

Fantastic effort from drivers and team to achieve the front-row lock-out, those Schumi and Felipe days in Bahrain were a long time ago! Hoping for a clean start and perfect strategy and of course reliability.

Arrivabene: “Well done Kimi!”
Kimi: “We did exactly what I didn’t want to happen. Exactly.”
