Buen humor en Yeda antes del arranque del GP de Arabia Saudí. AS preguntó en la rueda de prensa a Mick Schumacher (Haas), Esteban Ocon (Alpine) y Pierre Gasly (Alpha Tauri) quién de los tres tiene el coche más rápido, y a las respuestas se sumaron con ironía Max Verstappen y Carlos Sainz. Primero habló el alemán, que siempre se pasa de correcto: «No lo sé, es difícil saberlo. Ha habido sólo una carrera después de los test y todavía hay márgenes de prestaciones para explotar. En general estoy contento con la progresión de nuestro coche, aunque no puedo hablar por los otros dos. Tendremos que verlo durante el año».
Pierre Gasly, driving a Scuderia AlphaTauri, was left stranded with just over 10 laps of the race left as his car caught fire during the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. The unfortunate incident took place in the 46th lap of the race as Gasly pulled to the side of the track with the flames getting bigger, thus bringing out the Safety Car as well. This came as a big blow to Gasly who had high hopes of finishing in the top 10. The interruption in the race was used to his advantage by Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr. who put Max Verstappen under pressure for the second place.

After winning last year's Formula One title on the last lap of the last race, Max Verstappen's title defence began with a different sort of drama — his critics might say karma — as his Red Bull car retired just laps from the end of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.
Ferrari stormed into a commanding lead in the 2022 Formula One Constructors’ Championship with a perfect one-two in the Bahrain Grand Prix.
