Max Verstappen bromea cuando le preguntan por las salidas junto a Sainz porque tiene buena memoria: «Ya sé que Carlos es muy bueno en las salidas, era lo que pasaba en Toro Rosso, en 2015». Fueron compañeros aquel año y en las primeras carreras de 2016, debutaron juntos como estrellas emergentes de Red Bull, aunque luego el madrileño se separó del entorno de Helmut Marko y compañía. Ahora vuelven a encontrarse con coches de prestaciones similares, al menos a una vuelta, aunque Max es campeón del mundo y Carlos luchará por su primera victoria. «Aún hay áreas en el coche en las que se pueden encontrar prestaciones», dice Verstappen sobre la posibilidad de que Mercedes llegue en las próximas carreras.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has sent an ominous warning to the rest of the Formula 1 field on the back of his pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix, with him saying that he wasn’t happy with his driving over the course of qualifying and there’s a lot more to come.
