2018 Bahrain F1 Grandprix

[Nitrodaze]

What a brilliant weekend for HONDA. Pierre Gasly is proving to be a real star. The next best new Redbull driver to hit F1 since Max Verstapenn. A Honda powered Torro Rosso qualifies fifth behind the senior team Redbull of Ricciado in fourth. This is simply sensational.

But what does this mean?

1. There is a new star on the grid
2. Ricciados shelf life at Redbull just got shorter
3. The Honda is better than most people think it is
4. Mclaren may have been too hasty on their decision on the Honda engine. Considering that both Mclaren powered by a Renault engine qualified outside the top ten and behind both Torro Rosso.
5. Gasly's Torro Rosso in front of the Haas, protects the Redbull from the Haas which gives Ricciado the chance to take the fight to Bottas and the two Ferraris.
6. The gap between the sharp end of the grid and the midfield is 1.1seconds which is big.
7. Mclaren is in a sticky situation in the midfield with Haas and Torro Rosso likely to regularly spoilt the party for them.
8. A new F1 star just sparkle through the grid brilliantly in the shape of Pierre Gasly
