Ferrari accumulated headaches in Bahrain. charles leclerc did not finish the test and Carlos Sainz was fourth, behind Fernando Alonsoafter its wheels collapsed and could not withstand the attacks of the Aston Martin.
The Monegasque said goodbye in the lap 41. His battery had failed and he couldn’t continue. A battery that had already been changed as a precaution before departure. For which there are already two pieces that he has used.
And as reported by the Italian press, Ferrari has not been able to recover either of the two batteries. For what Leclerc could face already to a sanction in Australia.
The worst possible start for the Monegasque, who could already penalize in the second race of the season and not be able to start from the front.
Ferrari has a lot of work to do. The degradation is real and could be seen in Sainz’s car, chased and hit by Alonso with his Aston Martin. The Greens are not suffering from this degradation.
The Spanish driver was able to contain Lewis Hamilton, recovering his wheels and finishing in fourth position. They have a lot of work ahead of them at the Maranello factory.
Vasseur’s reaction
Fred Vasseurhead of Ferrari, has commented that this is his reality: “It is not good to start with zero. I would have preferred to finish, but I maintain my position, I already told the team a week or two ago, that the championship does not end in Bahrain”.
“The most important thing now is to be able to have a clear picture of the situation and know where we are failing,” he explained.
