F1: I was born to be useful, and you are all destined for greatness.

Where did the safety vehicle come from?

Gasly is on fire! Gasly's race car is on fire!

Like Tanger, Gasly had to stop and retire from the race.

Just like with the Tang Che incident, the FIA ​​had to deploy a safety car.

Tang Che: Case solved. Either I pushed too hard, or the car was too bad.

Gasly certainly didn't push as hard as Tontatta, otherwise he wouldn't have been bouncing back and forth between P8 and P9. Gasly's car only did about ten more laps than Tontatta's car, which shows that the AT03's stability was inherently poor.

This story teaches us that while speed is important, a car's stability should not be overlooked.

You have a car that can push mid-table cars to the edge of the leading group, great, but if the race isn't over, you're nothing!

Even if your car is as fast as a Mars rover, and both of your drivers are WDC, it's still a waste of time if you can't finish the race.

McLaren in 2012: Thinking about me?

However, considering this is the first race in the first year of the new regulations, some instability in the car is acceptable.

Everything is difficult at the beginning! If we find the problems and solve them, it shouldn't be a bad season... right?

Let's stay optimistic and keep watching the game.

Verstappen and Leclerc both pitted to change to red tires.

It's not hard to imagine what a fierce battle will take place on the track after the safety car leaves!

On lap 51, the safety car left the track, and the race returned to the dynamic start phase.

Verstappen, who was in the lead, was in no hurry to start, keeping the car in place and constantly grinding his tires to disrupt Leclerc's rhythm.

Leclerc remained completely unmoved and steadfastly continued on his own path.

Verstappen starts the Thunder from the starting line!

Leclerc also started with lightning speed, going full throttle to chase Verstappen.

Suddenly, Verstappen's speed dropped drastically!

Those who frequently drive F1 cars know that on the track, especially on long straights with full throttle, a sudden drop in speed by the car in front is a very dangerous thing.

This is like a wall suddenly appearing on a highway.

Leclerc almost collided with Verstappen!

Leclerc overtook! Sainz overtook! Perez overtook! Hamilton also overtook!

As the camera focused on Leclerc and Verstappen's third grappling match, Hamilton quietly dribbled past Magnussen.

When the second dynamic start came, Hamilton once again used the Thunder's start to get past Russell.

Verstappen was stunned: "What happened? What happened?"

GP responded quickly: "It must be a fuel system malfunction... We're out, Max."

"F**k! F**k!" After sending a barrage of telegrams, Verstappen finally calmed down. "What should I do? Stop on the track or drive back to the pit lane?"

GP: "Drive it back."

Verstappen drove the severely underpowered RB18 back to the repair area.

With Verstappen's elimination, Perez was promoted to P3.

Red Bull can have a podium finish, provided that Perez can stop Hamilton in the final six laps.

The cupping king has arrived! He has launched an attack on Perez!

Perez moved aside to allow Cupping King to comfortably enter the corner, while he stayed close behind Cupping King's car.

Straight road again, Perez activates DR, straight road eats Hamilton alive!

The W13's straight-line performance is far inferior to the RB18! Hamilton was completely outmatched on the straights!

Speed ​​is only truly important on straightaways; who can't stay on the line when cornering? (doge)

At the end of the straight, Perez was already two car lengths ahead of Hamilton.

Hamilton followed a precise line, working hard to close the gap with the car in front in a series of low-to-medium speed corners, and he did indeed close it.

But once on the straight, Perez can make Hamilton's efforts in the corners disappear with a single press of the accelerator, and even extend his lead.

Then there's no chance, after all, the Bahrain circuit has many long straights.

Last season, he was driving the dominant Mars rover and competing with Red Bull for the championship. This season, despite his best efforts, he couldn't catch up with Red Bull. You can imagine the psychological gap Hamilton experienced.

Hamilton was saddened too soon.

On lap 55, Perez's RB18 engine broke down!

Perez said in TR, "I'm losing motivation."

Perez's track engineer, Hugh Bird, responded: "Keep going for the last two laps."

Mechanical failures are beyond human control.

On the last lap, Perez almost lost all power. Before he completely lost power, he turned around to try to drive the car into the run-off area, but he lost all power as soon as he turned around, so the car came to rest on the side of the track.

Perez said helplessly in the TR, "My engine is dead."

Perez unfortunately withdrew from the match.

Fortunately, Hamilton was far ahead of Perez, otherwise he might not have been able to avoid Perez's cross-court run.

After getting past Perez, Hamilton's podium finish is practically guaranteed.

With the checkered flag waving, Leclerc crossed the finish line, crowned the first Grand Prix champion of the Ground Effect Era!

Sainz crossed the finish line right behind Leclerc, while Ferrari finished second.

The Iron Buddha Temple was overjoyed beyond measure, beaming with delight: "Wofa Helium Magnesium Alcohol!"

Congratulations to Mercedes-Benz III and IV for bringing back the car; it proves that although it's ethane, it's also helium-magnesium ethane.

W13: Haters, speak up!

The young car is still too young. You yourself said three stops east of the river and three stops west of the river, have you forgotten?

W13: I am the Mars rover, destined to crush all enemies in the world!

Great! Very energetic! Then good luck!

The podium and such have nothing to do with Tang Che, so I won't talk about it. Let's talk about Tang Che's post-match interview.

Reporter: "Both your cars and Pierre's cars experienced mechanical problems, and the external manifestations of the problems were similar. Were the internal causes the same?"

Bonus Chapter: F1 Anecdotes (1)

At 00:49, according to sources, the reason why both Red Bull Racing and Alfa Romeo retired from the Bahrain Grand Prix was because they mistakenly added ethane that Ferrari had abandoned when refueling.

At the start of this season, Wofa, having acquired helium-magnesium ethane, resolutely abandoned the massive amount of ethane that had been stored in the warehouse for several seasons and directly removed the warehouse guards.

The warehouse where Wolverine stored ethane was located right next to the fuel depots of the Red Bull and Alfa Romeo teams. When the warehouse managers of Red Bull and Alfa Romeo found that Wolverine's warehouse was unattended, they moved most of the ethane from Wolverine's warehouse to their own warehouses.

The staff responsible for transporting the fuel were unaware of this and mistakenly delivered ethane as their team's fuel to the racetrack. The team engineer did not check and directly added the ethane to the race car's fuel tank.

Although the RB18 and AT03, which were refueled with ethane, did not inherit the glorious tradition of the Shifeng 1000, they still gained the circus halo of the former Wofa, performing wonderful shows such as "Old Fire Soup", "Full Risk No Push" and "Side Car" for thousands of spectators on the track, winning countless applause.

The source also revealed that Mercedes also obtained ethane that was being discarded by the poker team in the same way and transported it to the racecourse, but they conducted an inspection before adding the ethane and were able to replace it with helium magnesium ethane in time.

Upon learning this news, fans of Tom Cruise and Red Bull were furious and enraged, flooding the team's comment section with messages demanding that the team carefully check the fuel before refueling.

Both teams made a solemn promise to their fans that they would fill their tanks with helium magnesium ethane at the next stop.
