Max Verstappen cruised to the win Sunday as he opened his defence of his back-to-back world championships. His dominance put all the focus on the rest of the field and it was Fernando Alonso who stole the show with his first podium in 26 races -- a performance that came 13 years after he won in Bahrain with Ferrari.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen of the Netherlands in action during the Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir circuit, on March 5, 2023. Max Verstappen's dominant Bahrain Grand Prix victory seemed normal by his high standards.
"I had the same feeling from testing -- it's too good to be true," Alonso said. "But it seems real. I could have driven for another hour on the track." "To finish on the podium first race of the year is just amazing," Alonso said. "What Aston Martin did over the winter to have the second best car on race one is just unreal."
"No, no, no, no," pleaded Leclerc over his radio as his car slowed to a stop. Ferrari had changed an engine battery before the race, too. "Congrats to my teammate Lance; 12 days ago he had surgery," Alonso said. "He is fighting right up with everybody. So amazing for the team."
