Yuki Tsunoda impressed everyone in Bahrain, with his moves from 16th place after the first lap, to P9 at the end of the race, earning a lot of praise from former Formula One drivers turned commentators like Martin Brundle, Jenson Button and Paul di Resta. On his way into the points, the young Japanese driver overtook former World Champions Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso – who between them have seven titles! – and admitted, at the end of the race, passing the Spaniard made him a bit emotional inside the car.

From the four drivers that changed teams for this season, Carlos Sainz was the only one who managed to race close to his new team mate, as Daniel Ricciardo, Sérgio Pérez and Sebastian Vettel all ended up quite a bit behind their new sparring partners. The new Ferrari driver ended his first Grand Prix with the Scuderia less than one second behind Ricciardo, who was driving what was, effectively, the Spaniard’s car until three months ago, and was definitively encouraged by being able to start the 2021 season at the same level he had finished last year, in spite of moving teams.

With two Grand Prix in the same circuit in the space of four months, Formula One teams got a unique opportunity to compare their 2021 cars with last year’s chassis and evaluate how much the aerodynamic cuts imposed by the regulations affected their performance from one year to the next.
